Wednesday at 6:30 PM

Join us in uplifting the Church, missionaries, nations, tribes and unbelievers in prayer, that God will intervene according to His Riches in Glory. Prayer is a fundamental tool in taking ground in every aspect of our lives. Let us stand before the Lord in the gap on behalf of the land (Ezekiel 22:30). Mathew 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 1 Timothy 2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people Ephesians 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Financial Peace University

Crosstown

Thursday at 6:30 PM

Finances can be a daunting conversation to have with yourself (or with a spouse), especially if you're in a large amount of debt and don't know what to do to get out and on your way to freedom. As Christians we're called to be free from limitations so we can live a life that additive to the kingdom of God based on our appreciation of Jesus' sacrifice. An important way to start the journey of a Christ centered life, of living in personal and spiritual freedom, is in our finances. For those new and old to finances, FPU is an excellent way to refresh yourself on good financial practices, and to start 2023 off in a way that sets you up for financial freedom. Plus, it enables you and your family the flexibility to walk in accordance to your purpose and calling with confidence. FPU is a 9 week program, but our group will go 10 weeks (09Feb2023 - 20Apr2023). The first week will be a meet and greet to get to know one another and discuss what to expect over the proceeding 9 week FPU program. This first week will set us up for incredible personal relationships that will keep you on the right track to financial peace. Although FPU can be done individually, there's immense value in going through it with a group for the added support to invigorate you in your financial journey. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Looking forward to meeting you!

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Larry Johnson & Taylor Anderson

Eagan

Tuesday at 6:30 PM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at any time" 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.
