What is a Journey Group?
A New Life Journey Group consists of a small group of individuals embarking on a Christ-centered discipleship journey together. These groups meet weekly for four to six weeks and are designed to be interactive. The aim is to nurture spiritual growth, create a sense of belonging, and equip members for life and ministry by delving more deeply into topics such as forgiveness, love, maturity, relational skills, and practicing the presence of God. Each Journey Group focuses on Christ-centered study, building relationships, prayer, outreach, and service. Participants are those who seek to grow in their faith and find strength for daily living. Essentially, Journey Groups are about “doing life” with others on our faith journey together towards being intentionally Christ-formational. Journey Groups are open to anyone, no matter what church family you belong to!
Spiritual Disciplines III
"Fruit" - Outer Disciplines (Part One)

Discover the Outer Disciplines that Reflect a Christlike Life
Join us for this 4-week journey as we explore the “fruit” of spiritual formation—practices that allow the transforming work of Christ within us to become visible in the way we live. Through the study and application of Scripture, we’ll learn to surrender more fully to God, reflect the heart of Jesus in our relationships and actions, and experience the freedom and grace that come from a life shaped by Him.
Together we’ll learn and practice:
God’s Way – Surrendering our will and desires to God’s purpose.
God’s Service – Serving others with the humility and heart of Christ.
Confession – Finding freedom and grace through vulnerability, repentance, and forgiveness.
Schedule
We will have the same content each week, so you can choose to come:
Sundays (12:00-1:30 pm)
OR
Thursdays (7:00-8:30 pm)
On Sundays, we will have a few snacks, but feel free to bring a packed lunch.
(No childcare available.)
Week 1 - Sunday 9/13 or Thursday 9/17
Week 2 - Sunday 9/20 or Thursday 9/24
Week 3 - Sunday 9/27 or Thursday 10/1
Week 4 - Sunday 10/4 or Thursday 10/8
Come ready to grow, to be challenged, and to see the work God is doing within you begin to bear fruit in the way you live and love others.

A Believer's Journey
Our desire is to walk this journey of faith together—learning, growing, and becoming more like Christ. Each step of the discipleship journey shapes us and prepares us. What step is God calling you to take next in your walk with Him?

The Unoffendable Heart

Developing a Christlike heart that responds to offense
with humility, forgiveness, grace, and trust.
This Journey Group on the Unoffendable Heart is not simply a study of lessons to complete. It is a pursuit of a transformed mindset—brought about by the power of the Holy Spirit—that leads to life-changing interaction with God and with others. As our hearts are shaped by Christ, we begin to reflect the heart of God to a hurting world. Imagine the kind of life we would live if we carried the unoffendable heart of Jesus wherever we go.
Our Unoffendable Heart Journey Group completed its most recent session in May 2026. Thank you to everyone who joined us as we learned and grew together! Stay tuned for details about our next session—we’d love to have you join us!

Why "Journey Groups"?
Journey Groups were birthed from God’s prompting to create a space for real, open conversations about living out our faith and impacting the world around us.
They invite us into a spiritual journey of growth in Christ—biblically grounded and practically applied—where God transforms not only our own lives but also the lives of those we encounter.
Each gathering is marked by the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit and further strengthened as individuals come together with a shared desire to grow, sparking the beautiful conversations that flow from our unity in Christ.
