Marriage and Family

Crosstown

Wednesday at 6:30 PM

Building healthy marriages and families is essential for maximizing our potential in Christ. Starting March 1st, a new group will be launching at Crosstown campus that will focus on just that. The Marriage and Family group will meet each Wednesday in the lounge at Crosstown campus, and will have a simple format: Teaching, Testimony, and table discussion with your assigned table and leaders. The group will meet for 6 weeks, and will cover topics like "Healthy communication habits", "Why did God create marriage?", as well as other relevant topics to help strengthen your marriage and family. The goal for this ongoing group is to teach God’s plan for marriage, empower you with the skills to build a thriving marriage, and build relationships with other couples that can support your marriage. This group is being led by Chris and Cait Courneya, and Sam and Rachel Thompson. Childcare is not provided at this time. **Please register BOTH you and your spouse separately.

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Titus Marshall & Jake Wilson

Apple Valley

Friday 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 Lifegroups. 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.

The Knowledge of the Holy

Crosstown

Saturday at 7:00 AM

This will be an every other week study of Tozer's classic "The Knowledge of the Holy;" a study of the character and attributes of God. We will meet for 90 minutes each time for fellowship, a meal, and discussion of two chapters from the book each time in a relaxed setting. From the Amazon website: This book, "by beloved evangelical author and Christian mystic A.W. Tozer, illuminates God’s attributes—from wisdom, to grace, to mercy—and in doing so, attempts to restore the majesty and wonder of God in the hearts and minds of all Christians. Informative as well as inspirational, The Knowledge of the Holy returns the towering Christian concept of God to the center of the religious mind, fostering a renewed appreciation of the magnitude of God’s glory. This timeless gift breathes a spirit of devotion for all Christians, from those who are newly arrived to those who are committing themselves anew to Jesus Christ." Please purchase the book on your own ($13). It's available on amazon.com.

MAPer Zoom Cohort 2022-2023

Thursday at 6:30 AM • Virtual

We are launching an 8-month cohort for people who are registered for the MAP and who sense they may be heading to the field in the next 3 to 5 years. The purpose of this cohort is three-fold: 1) To increase Biblical literacy for these people 2) To create community for the MAPers (for encouragement on the journey and to learn how to manage conflict in small teams) 3) To encourage the formation of discipleship relationships with internationals living here. The cohort will consist of two zoom calls a month: 1. The first Thursday morning of each month will be a training and update session from 6:30 to 8:15AM. During the call, we will provide: -- Training on a key topic each month -- Time to discuss the training in small groups -- An opportunity to share learnings from Biblical assignments -- Encouragement and accountability in developing cross cultural relationships with internationals in the US 2. The third Thursday morning of each month will have a 45 minute session with one of our 500 and then a 30 to 45 minute question and response time. -- This session may be 6:30 to 8:15 AM or 6:30 to 8:15 PM, depending on the location of our 500. Schedules will be issued about one month in advance.
