Adult Activities
One of the easiest ways to be involved in the life of our church family is to gather weekly with other adults for fellowship, Bible study, prayer, and connection. Each Wednesday night we offer a variety of activities and small groups for our adults.
Our time together each week begins at 6:00pm in the Chapel for a brief time of worship and prayer. This time is led by Rev. Brandon Owen, Paul Reeves, Maria Goodwin, and BJ Greer. A spotify playlist has been made of the songs that we will be singing during this time of worship. Feel free to click the link. This playlist will be updated throughout the semester.
After worship, adult small groups meet 6:30-7:30pm on Wednesday nights in the Main Building. The room for each group is listed below. If you have students and children, they can participate in the Wonderful Wednesday activities for children that are listed below.
Small Groups for fall 2024
How Did We Get Here? A Baptist history from the Nicene Creed to present day. Have you ever wondered why there are so many different denominations, including Baptist denominations? This class will be looking at the history of Baptist and the evolution of denominational life through history. This class will meet in room 251 and will be led by Justin O'Dell.
Disciples Making Disciples - This class will be diving into the book, “Disciples Making Disciples Level” 1 by the Timothy Group (ISBN 9798646845543), focusing on discussing the book and discovering ways to share our faith with others. This class will meet in the Fellowship Hall Parlor and will be led by Nick Spratlen. To purchase the book on amazon, click here.
Women’s Devotion & Prayer Time - Women are invited to join this group each week for a time of devotion and prayer led by women for women. We will use the book Great Prayers of the Bible by Carol Plueddemann to guide out time together. You can purchase a book to follow along, but it’s not required. There will be no weekly homework, come as you are for this time of prayer. This group will meet in Room 300 and be led by Ann Phillips.
Wonderful Wednesday
for Children
Wonderful Wednesdays are a time when our children get to explore their faith and learn how they can share God's love around the world, and how to worship God through many different art forms! Each Wednesday children ages 3 years-old* through 5th grade will participate in age-graded Children's Worship Arts classes and rotation classes. Some of the activities your child will experience are singing, drama, playing instruments, missions, Bible study, games, and lots more! For more information about Wonderful Wednesdays, click here.
*Childcare for infants through 2 year olds is provided in our nursery beginning at 5:45pm for parents attending a Bible study, seminar class, or Adult Choir practice.
Student Ministry
