The Sermon Reflection Study provides an opportunity to know God more deeply through intentional faith development and connection to community.
The Sermon Reflection Study is produced in-house, every week, based on the sermon for the week. There is one group offered on Sunday or Monday morning and another group on Tuesday evening. They are open to everyone with no homework required. You can join a Sermon Reflection Study anytime or use this curriculum as a guide for personal devotion. Newcomers are ALWAYS welcome!
