What is Develop U?
Develop U is a series of discipleship groups taking place on Wednesday nights at 7 pm, all across our campus. We love small groups and the growth that happens when we meet together…but let’s face it, it’s hard to clear another night of the week, find a babysitter, and commit to a small group. Develop U is meant to make small groups easy. Our groups will meet on campus (so you know the location is clean and safe) and will meet on Wednesday nights so your children will be cared for. And we aren’t just offering childcare, but spiritual development so the entire family can grow in God!
Develop U groups will meet from May 1st through August 28th. Check out the groups we are offering this semester and join us for our Develop U kick-off party on May 1st at 7 pm in our Event Center.
Knowing Yourself
Leaders: Pastors Melissa and Brad Eddens
Location: Worship Arts Center Room 1
Life is often messy and complicated. We have this picture in our minds of what a perfect marriage or family looks like. When we hold our own marriages and families next to this idealized image, we always fall short. Some People’s Kids is a relaxed and conversational class to help marriages and families find their unique anointing and to then flourish within that anointing. Every home is infused with its own brand of “Crazy”…Let’s laugh and learn together because we are all “Some People’s Kids”
