Small Groups

Small groups are a great way to explore topics and questions in Christianity while building closer connections with your church family.

Whether you are looking for a short-term dive into a particular topic or book of the Bible, or a long-term connection through an ongoing class, there is probably a small group to meet your needs.

If you don’t see one that’s a good match now, check back later as some small groups change seasonally.

Through God’s desire to dwell among His people, He instructed Moses to build a tabernacle following a precise pattern. We will be learning the significance of the tabernacle’s design and its intricate furnishings. After entering into the altar of sacrifice, we will proceed into the Holy Place, and then go beyond the veil into the Holy of Holies. We will clearly see how everything points toward Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of the new covenant. These meanings will have a powerful impact on our walk with the Lord today. We will be challenged to prepare our hearts, like the Holy of Holies, to be a dwelling place for the Most High God.

The workbook by Beth Moore is needed and can be purchased at Connections.
