Purpose:
Bible Studies, Topical Studies and Home Groups

Description:
Small groups are the best way to live out your Christian faith. In a large church, small groups provide an opportunity for community, friendship, encouragement, accountability, and, of course, education and training in the faith. If you are new to small groups, then the Alpha Course is the place to start. If you would like to get an excellent grasp of the whole Bible, then Disciple Bible Studies are the in-depth small groups you’re looking for. And if you really want to get a feel for what it means to live as the church, then Life Together small groups will be the best way for you to combine prayer, study, service, care, sharing the gospel, and fellowship. There are also short-term small groups that are topically based (i.e. Singles, Women’s, Men’s, Financial Peace). “Preview” events, featuring each new small group are scheduled each Fall, Spring, and Summer.

Alpha - The Christian Basics for Everyone (Thursdays) ::

Alpha Course - The Christian Basics for Everyone ::
Thursdays, September 9 - November 18
6:30pm (in Host Homes)

     If your non-Christian family member asked you, “Why did Jesus die?” would you be able to give a good answer? And why should we read the Bible? Is it really trustworthy? How does prayer work anyway? And how can I know if God is guiding me? We’ll explore these questions and more in the Alpha Course.
     Alpha is a 10-week course with a one-day weekend retreat that addresses the basics of the Christian faith. Whether you’re a skeptic, a new believer, or a lifelong Christian, you will enjoy this enlightening course. Alpha groups will begin meeting in homes on Thursday, January 28 at 6:30pm.
     Please register for the class with Cari Robinette at 281-488-5111, x135 or click on REGISTER NOW to sign up online.

Christianity’s Family Tree - book by Adam Hamilton - This book presents a welcoming, inspiring vision of eight Christian denominations and faith traditions. Comparing the Christian family to our own extended families, it contends that each denomination has a unique, valuable perspective to offer on the Christian faith. The traditions examined are Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, Anglicanism, Baptists, Pentecostalism, and Methodism. For each group, Hamilton gives a brief history, outlines major beliefs, and describes some things we can learn from that tradition to strengthen our own Christian faith. This 9-week class begins on Monday, September 13 at 7pm and ends on November 8. Cost $12/book.
