Our Small Groups

 

Image goes here.
Life was never meant to be a “lone ranger” journey. God has made us all with a relational need to know and to be known. We believe that the best way to go deeper in these relationships is through our small groups. All of our small groups meet in people’s homes. Please join us for one or more of them throughout the week!

Home Groups 
  • Clements’ Home Group—Meets Mondays 7-8:30pm at the Clements’.  We enjoy and encourage one another in conversation and prayer. We also discover God's Word together through overview and verse-by-verse study of books of the Bible. We are currently studying the Old Testament book of Psalms. Feel free to jump in anytime! For more info contact Brian or Karen Clements (brian@go2hope.org).
  • Family Home Group—Meets 1st and 3rd Fridays at 6pm at the Okamoto's.  This is a home group for young families.  Normally we share a potluck dinner together (note: the potluck portion is temporarily suspended during the shelter at home order), have a kid-friendly devotional, enjoy a family game, and end with some sharing and prayer.  It's a great way to connect with other families whose lives are busy with their children!  For more info contact Wayne or Ollie Okamoto (wayne@go2hope.org).
  • Griffins' Home Group—Currently meeting every Thursday from 7-9pm at the Griffin's.  Beginning April 23rd, we will be studying "Experiencing God" by Henry Blackaby and Claude King.  For more info contact Kelly or Beth Griffin (kelly@go2hope.org).
  • Stewarts' Bi-weekly Study—Meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month on ZOOM from 7:00-8:30pm.  We are currently going through the book "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn.  For more info contact Jim Stewart (jimathope@aol.com).

Men’s Groups

  • Saturday Morning Men’s Breakfast—Meets the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month 8-10 am at Liberty Church and is a combination of breakfast, conversation, and teaching (note: the breakfast portion is currently BYOB - Bring Your Own Breakfast).  Our teaching time is either from a stand alone DVD or DVD series, or a casual devotion from one of the men, followed with discussion aimed to build our faith and relationships. If you're looking for something that fills the need of every man, this is it! There is never a bad time to join us.  Come check us out and see if it's a good fit.
