Courageous Faith
A 3-5 session series framed around Proverbs 3:5-6. How do I trust the Lord with all my heart?

In the messiness of their confusions and heartaches, we’ll find the beauty of God’s unshakable hope and love woven intricately in the fabric of their stories. We’ll become skilled hope-hunters as we discover practical ways to engage with the Lord and His Word in our stories.
Wildly Loved
Let’s find our worth in the heart of God who calls us His own. A 1-3 session series that takes a deep dive into God’s heart through the stories of women in the Bible. We’ll strengthen our identity in Christ through Biblical descriptions of God’s intimate, lavish love.
