Groups
Groups are where we share life together, encouraging and supporting each other. While most of our groups happen Sunday morning during After Half, we also offer a few special groups over the course of the year that will meet at different times!
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:16

Life Groups
These life groups each have a different focus as we share life together and offer encouragement to one another.
Middle and High School students have the opportunity to gather every other Sunday evening for Youth Group. This is a safe place where students can experience what it means to reflect Christ by passionately following him, and they can ask questions about faith and find truth.
Upcoming Dates: May 19, June 2 and 16
Time: 6:30-8:00 pm
Each week, we gather to pray over the specific needs of the church, revitalization of our church, and for our Sterling/Rock Falls community. We meet each Thursday at 10:00 am in the chapel.
Recovery Alive Launch Group
Mondays, 6-7:30 pm
Recovery ALIVE is our new Christian 12-step program that will launch fully this September. The Launch Group will be meeting through the summer to go through the process first while planning what the full program will look like this summer. If you’re interested in being part of the group, please email Pastor Daniel.
