Children’s Ministry
PreK - 2nd grade — "The Lord's Prayer" in Room 9 led by Sarah Kolden with helper Reagan French. Kids will memorize and learn the significance of the Lord's Prayer.
3rd - 6th grade — "Studying the Bible" in Room 11 led by Jessica French. Students will learn how to study the Bible for themselves.
Confirmation Ministry – Church and Sacraments
Led by Pastor Matt and Zoe Watts in the Youth Center
Confirmation gives students in seventh, eighth, and ninth grade an anchor in the sea of questions they'll be facing at school and in life.
Moms’ Covenant Group – “Encountering God” by Kelly Minter
Led by Kristi Siemsen & Dana Schmidt in the Living Room
Spiritual disciplines are essential to a more vibrant spiritual life and knowing God more intimately. This Bible study, supplemented with videos and a workbook, unpacks the biblical foundation for these sacred habits along with ways to practice disciplines like prayer, study, worship, rest, simplicity, generosity, and celebration. Cultivating these habits can create more margin in your life—providing peace and rest as you walk closer with Jesus.
Men’s Covenant Group – “Confessions" by St. Augustine
Led by Pastor Garrett in the Fellowship Center
“Confessions” is the autobiography of Augustine of Hippo, one of the most influential saints and sages of Christian history. To read Augustine is to dive deeply into the interior life of a great soul, and to thereby learn how God relates to those whom He loves (but who often resist Him). Weekly readings and discussions, along with prayers offered for each other along the path of faith, will shape the life of this group.
Upper Room Prayer – A Prayer Circle for Our Country, Community, & Church
Led by Hilde Ernsberger in the Choir Room (Upstairs)
Do you have a desire to pray for God's church, our country, our culture, and our world? If so, please join this small prayer group. You do not need to pray out loud… just come and join in lifting up God's intentions for His church and His world. The group will meet for 20-30 minutes following the Wednesday dinners.

The Book of Acts – A Simple Bible-Study
Led by Paul Priesz in Room 12
