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: April 21, May 5 and 19
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.
