LIFE GROUPS
Let's do life together.
The church is a family, and Life Groups are where family begins.
Together we seek Jesus, fight for each other, rejoice with each other, and love each other.
The intimate setting of a Life Group helps us to better know one another--and when we know one another better, we love one another more!

Paint By YouTube
Life Group
Amanda Einhorn
-
Who- Women
-
What- This life group is geared toward all women who love to paint. Instead of painting by numbers, we will be "painting by YouTube". We will paint a picture on canvas with the help of YouTube tutorials. After each meeting you will be able to take your beautiful picture home. I'm asking that a one time fee of $30 ($10 per session) be paid so I can buy painting supplies. Disclaimer: I am not a professional artist. I cannot promise you will leave with a professional painting, but I can promise at least a recognizable picture of what we were painting, a great time of fellowship, and a yummy snack or two.

Pastor Lenn

Who- Men

What- This small group is for men who like to start their day off with the rising sun and a cup of hot steaming coffee. Throw in a biscuit and a few friends (Pastor Lenn leads us), and you’re off to a great start. We cover all the important topics; sports, world events, automotive repair, you know—stuff men like to talk about. Yes, we have a little fun, but the most important thing we do is pray for one another and our families in a very informal setting. A great way to connect with one another, get to really know one another, and be accountable to one another!
