The command to love one another is repeated over and over in God's word. One of the most effective ways to do this is by ordinary Christ-Followers meeting in groups where the word of God is studied and people are prayed for and encouraged. Join us as we explore the benefits of these relationships.

One of the keys to sustained Christian growth is discipleship relationships. We will continue to unpack practical ways that we can encourage each other as we walk the journey with Jesus.

We will be returning to our series on how Jesus Christ disciples Peter. We will study Matthew 26:69-75 where Peter denies Jesus Christ three times. We will learn lessons from Peter's experience to help us in our darkest hours.
