In God’s story we find our own story.

We often think of our life as a mishmash of hundreds of individual moments in time. But what if everything we experience is really part of one great narrative?

Starting today with our new series, we’re going to learn to see the Bible as one story and find a daily purpose in God’s eternal plan.

The Story Group SignupsDive deeper into the power of God’s story through our 8-week group study beginning September 28.

Connect and grow in your relationship with Jesus and with others. Choose among women’s groups, men’s groups, young adult groups, parent groups and community groups.

Groups will meet weekly, about an hour and a half, and you’ll receive a specially written curriculum to help you learn more about how your story fits into the greatest story ever told.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
