This eight-week Bible study will instruct, encourage, experience and inspire you to walk in all that Jesus has made available to you through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the gifts that He imparts. These gifts are vital and need to be used in order to be effective witnesses for Him. In this study you will learn about the unseen world, which is called the Spirit realm. Even though we don't see it with our physical eyes, we interact with it on a daily basis. You will also learn in detail about each of the nine gifts of the Spirit and how they are used throughout the Old and New Testament by ordinary people. Finally, you will have the opportunity to deepen your relationship with the Lord through the lessons on prayer and intercession. We will be meeting Thursdays, Sept. 14 - Nov 16, with the exception of Sept. 21 (due to Dave and I be out of town) and Oct. 12 (due to Marriage Night at Crosstown).

Take Ground | Kyle McDonough

Wednesday at 6:30 AM

We will start the group with the Take Ground study guide that is inspired by this year's vision that Pastor Rob shared in January. We believe that we are going to end the year strong as we take ground as a church and see you take ground personally! This group is designed to get into God's Word, grow in your relationship with Jesus and connect with others. We will read the Bible together following the River Valley SOAP method. We can't wait to get to know you! If for some reason, we are unable to meet in Kyle's garage, we meet at Mocha Monkey in St. Bonifacius.

DivorceCare

Apple Valley

Thursday at 7:00 PM

DivorceCare is a biblically based, Christ-centered support group seminar. Each session shows a 30-minute video followed by a small group discussion about the video. The DivorceCare videos present experts, ministers, and Christian counselors discussing divorce-related issues such as depression, anger, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Real people share their stories of how they deal with the pain and heartbreak of divorce and separation. During the week between meetings, group members complete a daily Bible study and practical exercises to help them heal from their hurt and pain. DivorceCare is for people who are separated or divorced.

The Promise Principle | Joe Groven

Faribault

Monday at 6:30 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Small Groups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.

We will meet at 10:30am at the campus beginning August 20.
