Group Verse: Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. -Hebrews 12:1-2a
Group Vision: It is our mission to encourage one another in our weakness, to challenge one another in our faith, and focus on Jesus as we journey through this life.
Group Description: We’re not a large class, we’re a very small church. You sense it when you walk in the door: diverse in age, background, income and experience. We’re a caring and compassionate group of imperfect Christ followers. We recognize the importance of having a diverse group of Christ following friends to encourage, challenge and help us focus on the Christ as we run our spiritual race. No one gets to choose the race they run. Having friends who’ve experienced many of the same trials makes it much easier to keep running!
