Family Groups

See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
— Hebrews 3:12-13

For Midweeks in 2025, We will be meeting in person as a congregation at 7PM the FIRST Wednesday of each month. The rest of the Wednesdays, we will be meeting in Family Groups. For more information about Family Groups, see below.
