DISCUSSION HOUSE CHURCHES
We believe every person has gifts and talents that can be used for the purpose of pointing other people towards Jesus Christ. In our Discussion House Churches, we use people who have the gift of teaching, communicating, and facilitating to lead a group of 8-15 people in a time of discussion regarding the text our church studied together on the previous Sunday. Discussion House Churches are designed to help each person in the group connect more intimately with God and each other through a time of sincere, Bible based conversation and prayer. Unless otherwise noted, House Churches meet on Wednesdays at 7pm.
