Ephesians deals with topics at the very core of what it means to be a Christian—both in faith and in practice. As followers of Christ, we must fully understand who God declares us to be. We must also become grounded in the knowledge of God's accomplishment for all humanity. Next, our present existence and walk must become exercised and strengthened, no longer tottering or staggering back and forth with every spirit of teaching and subtlety of men. We meet at 8pm in Mt. House.

"Follow me" said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). God's design has been for every disciple of Jesus to make disciples until the gospel spread to all peoples. Tragically we have taken Christ's command "TO GO", and mutated it into a comfortable call for Christians "TO COME". Join us EVERY OTHER Sunday at 5pm as we learn how to become fishers of men.

We invite you to join us every Monday at 7pm to study and gain a better understanding of God's weekly message.

We meet on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. We plan to dig deeper into the Sunday Morning Sermon. We plan to meet in person. CHILDCARE IS AVAILABLE.

What does it mean to be blessed? And, more importantly, how do we become someone who is blessed? The kind of life God is calling us to may not look the way we imagined, but it will be better than we could have hoped. In this eight-session series, pastor Matt Chandler takes us through the Beatitudes and shows us what it means to live in the kingdom of God. Through Jesus's teaching, learn what the blessed life really looks like. Join us on this journey, Tuesday evenings at 6 pm.

"Who am I becoming?" That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren't pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life." The perfect read to help you slow down during Lent or any other time of year, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry is a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world. Our married couples group meets in person EVERY OTHER SUNDAY at 5:30 in Tracy.

This world looks nothing like the promised perfect kingdom of God. And yet we as God's people must live in it every day. In The Book of 1 Peter, Kyle Idleman walks through the short letter and unpacks the importance of our witness in this world. The world's not as it should be. Until the day that God rights all wrongs, we have a job to do. Let's be about the business of the kingdom. Our group meets Tuesday evening from 7-8:15 pm sharp!

John focuses on the divine glory of Jesus…he is nothing less than God himself, incarnate in human flesh. Jesus is emphasized as being deity. Our group meets Tuesday evenings 6:30-8:30 in Tracy. Please contact me at my cell: 707-580-3116 for questions.

Our group meets on Friday mornings from 9 am - 10:30 am in the Children's Worship Center.

There is a war on masculinity, and everywhere we look -- we can see the painful reminders of this collapsing order. In The Warrior Poet Way, John Lovell offers a needed antidote to the lack of strong men in our modern world. This guide dispenses essential advice on how to be a whole man, from tyranny-proofing your home to wooing the right woman. Lovell teaches the virtue of balance and guides men through each mental and physical change they must make to embody the ancient spirit of a real man. Our men's group meets on Monday evenings at 6:30 at the church.

All First Responders are welcome. The book of Romans is a letter written to the church in Rome by the apostle Paul. Romans: The Gospel of Grace, outlines in clear terms the central truths and doctrines of the Christian faith. Romans culminates with the incredible truth that God has made a way - through the sacrifice of Christ - for all to find salvation. We meet 5:30-7:00 pm, Monday evenings in Tracy. We begin and end promptly. Childcare not available at this time.

Amos is often called a prophet of doom. And when you begin to read his prophecy, it doesn't take long to realize that nickname fits. On the surface, his prophecy doesn't sound like a happy formula for the good life. However, every condemnation he gives serves as an invitation, a cry for us to "seek God and live" (Amos 5:4). You'll be invited to live assured, faithful, chosen, humble, justly, prayerful, and hopeful. This kind of living will bring us and others around us peace and true prosperity. Amos is promoting the God life, and, the God life is the good life! Come, join us on Thursday mornings at 10 am here at the church as we put on The Armor of God.

Today's society has many barriers that try to hide God's love from our children. But where two or three gather in His name, He promises to be in the midst. There is power in prayer and there is nothing like a praying mother. Mom's drop your kids off at Awana and join us in praying for our children, our schools and our teachers.
