Every Christ-follower should want to live a life that honors God with holy, healthy, and hopeful living. Each of us has struggles and issues in our lives that we need to deal with in order to see that become a reality.
The purpose of Living Free groups is to assist group members along the path of freedom from their struggles, receive encouragement and support, and to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Living Free meets on Sunday evenings at 5:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We begin with a brief time of fellowship, worship and sharing of a personal testimony in a large group setting, then move to smaller rooms for groups that revolve around specific issues and needs.
Living Free groups are for you, whether you want to learn how to minister to other people, or how to find freedom in your own life.
Child care is available through 5th grade. The only cost to attend is the purchase of a $15 workbook for your group (scholarships available). An offering will be accepted each week to help cover the cost of refreshments.
