ADVOCATES & ALLIES FOR HOPE
TUESDAY | 6:30-7:30 PM | SUPPORT GROUP |
LEADERS: ANNA NEVIS AND MARK PIGHIN
Frequency: Weekly | Location: Creekside | Duration: Ongoing
We are passionate about fostering a community grounded in Diplomacy, Inclusion, Respect, and Empathy. Every Tuesday night, we come together for fellowship and prayer, as we journey through the book of Acts, applying its timeless lessons to our lives. Our focus is to create a nurturing space where we can uplift and encourage one another, growing in our relationships with Christ and with each other. This group warmly welcomes people of all ages, and families are especially encouraged to attend. What makes our gatherings unique is the leadership of two members from the disabled community, who bring invaluable perspectives and experiences. We believe that through thoughtful discussions and shared experiences, we can all grow together and become beacons of hope for one another.
SHARING LIFE GROUP
WEDNESDAY | 6:30-8:00 PM | VIDEO BIBLE STUDY
LEADERS: ERIC & PEGGY JOHNSON
Frequency: Weekly | Location: Creekside | Duration: Ongoing
Our focus is sharing our lives. While regular Bible/video/book study is part of our gatherings, our purpose is long-term, healthy relationships as we seek to follow Jesus’ command in John 15:12 to “Love each other as I have loved you.” This group is all about uplifting, encouraging, and learning together. Join our upcoming study, “The Jesus I Never Knew,” beginning Wednesday, January 7, 2026. In this seven-week series, we will read and discuss author Phillip Yancey’s book of the same name, taking a closer look at the man named Jesus. Aside from his three years of teaching, few details about Jesus—the central figure of human history—are known. In this study, we may well shatter clichés to reveal a disruptive, intimate, and unexpectedly human Jesus, as we meet Him again with fresh eyes, honest questions, and the possibility of life-changing hope.
