FAMILY LIFE MINISTRY

We walk beside all believers on their faith journey, developing disciples to make disciples. We are a gathering of individual believers from all walks of life, personally putting our faith in Christ. Whether a parent, child, married couple, family, single, widow, or widower, you belong because of Him. Our community of believers gathers regularly to fellowship, encourage one another, and grow in their faith.

THURSDAY MORNING BIBLE CLASS

WITH PASTOR SCHROEDER

The Thursday morning Bible Class is an in depth look at different books of the Bible. For example, we have covered books like Ecclesiastes, Ruth, Hebrews, Esther, and Matthew. The class is primarily a lecture format, but there are also opportunities for questions. Our goal is to give the participant a deeper understanding of the Word of God.

MOMS OF PRESCHOOLERS (MomCo)

Tuesdays | September–May | 8:30–10:30AM

Being a mom is one of the hardest—and most beautiful—jobs out there. But you don’t have to do it alone.
The MomCo is your go-to place for laughter, support, coffee, and connection with other moms who get it. Twice a month, we gather for real conversations, encouraging stories, time in the Word, and fun activities that fill your cup (instead of just your to-do list).
Whether you’re looking for friendship, advice, or just a break from toddler chaos—we’ve got a seat for you. Plus, you’ll hear from moms who’ve been there and are ready to cheer you on in your journey.
Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
