Sue’s Life Group

A small but welcoming group of women. We meet once a month, and currently we are going through reading and discussing a study about the fruit of the spirit. We always take time at our meetings for prayer requests for others as well as for ourselves, and pray together.

Wings (Psalm 91:4)

We love to crochet, knit, loom knit, etc and we love to use the gifts that God blessed us with to provide warmth, hope and comfort to those in need!  We’ve made blue hats for the kids in NXT GEN for anti-bullying awareness, prayer shawls for those who need comfort, slippers, gloves, washclothes, wheelchair afghans for our local nursing homes, pocket prayer shawls for hospitals and red/white/blue lapghans for veterans.  A couple of our members are crocheting sleep mats of plastic grocery bags for homeless people.  Everybody is welcome and if you don’t know how to knit, loom knit or crochet, we can teach you!

The Martin’s Group

We are a caring and fun group!  We are a fairly new group but have blended very well together.  We love Jesus and continue to grow in Him through prayer, through sharing life stories and through discussion of teaching plans using RightNow Media and other learning tools.  Our goal is to use transparency and vulnerability to help each other grow more into His image.

Patty’s Life Group Gals

Bringing ladies together to make friends by spending time together and studying God’s word.  Growing closer to God.

Jeff & Jennifer Boer Group

We’re a group that includes the whole family.  Kids welcome!  We have a few teenagers that help with watching the younger kids!  A typical gathering starts with sharing a meal together, followed by a 30 minute time spent learning more about Jesus and each other.  This is most often accomplished by watching a short RightNow Media video and discussing the video.

Tim and Marta’s Sunday Life Group

We are a diverse group meeting for Sunday lunch and fellowship. Typically we use a RightNow Media series for learning and discussion. A fun group with a purpose to learn, grow, and support others.

Forged Men’s Group

Welcome!  We try to focus our group on biblical ways to become a more Godly man, and how we can become better providers and leaders for our families and others around us.  The word “Forged” comes from Proverbs 27:17 — “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend”.  Our average night usually consists of sharing a meal, then watching a video series from RightNow Media.  We then have a discussion about the topics that were covered in the video.  Our group is mainly outdoorsy young men ages 25-35, but we do have some members much younger and older.  Unfortunately we do not currently have any form of childcare.  Thank you for taking a look at our group.  We are always welcoming and thankful for new members.

Active Duty and Veterans’ Life Group

This group is for active duty service members and veterans who are new to Christ, new to church, or christians looking to grow closer to Jesus. Having shared backgrounds of deployments, long training rotations, operating in high tempo environments, and oftentimes hardships and struggles, we believe that we can grow stronger together in our faith. We would love for you to join us as we discuss videos or past sermons. The atmosphere is very relaxed and typically contains some storytelling (as any vet gathering would). We currently do not officer childcare.

Callie’s Group

Women of all ages and stages of life coming together to encourage one another and learn what the bible teaches about God, ourselves and others.

The Shock’s Group

Our life group is for married couples with families who are having a hard time fitting in.  If you need real, authentic fellowship, come join us!  We focus on marriage, family, vision and growing our relationship with Christ.

Couples Life Group

Our couples life group meets about twice a month and has done many RightNow Media studies together!  Presently, we have been doing the First Church “Dinnertime Devotionals” that help talk through the sermon.  We usually spend about 2 hours together and even have snack or desserts on occasion!

The Schaper’s Group

We are an empty nester group, with some of us having blended families. We enjoy Bible studies together, watching Christian movies together, sharing a meal together, being each other’s prayer worries; we love doing life together! We also reach out into the community and are active with the Backpack Program as well!

It’s A Wonderful Life Group

Our life group is made up of people in most stages of life from parents of young children to teens and some grandparents too.  We also are a group of different stages of spiritual growth from new believers to life long Jesus followers.  Our group enjoys spending time building community through our service project, the Backpack Ministry, where we volunteer about once a month.

First Ladies

Monthly gathering (on the 2nd Thursday) of ladies to discuss and grow in God’s word, to be encouraging and uplifting in sad times and to rejoice with each other in happy times, while enjoying a little snack together and sharing in Christ’s love.

“For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20

Missy’s Life Group

We are a group of women, young and old, married and single, who love God! We gather together twice a month and pray, do a devotion, and discuss it together. We laugh, sometimes cry, but always enjoy one another’s company.

Seamless Bible Study

Young women growing in their love for God and one another through bible study.

The Hill’s Group

Our purpose is to share our lives with each other. We chat, snack, study the Bible, and pray together. We usually read and discuss about 2 chapters of the Bible each meeting. We’d love to have you join us!

Young Adult College and Careers

This group is for anyone who is a college student or recent graduate and looking to connect with and be encouraged by people who are in a similar life stage!

The Oezer’s Monthly Sunday After First Service Group

We are a motley bunch of adults (some of us, sorta).  Some of us still have small children in the house, some of us still have adult children living in the house (sigh), some of us are grandparents (awesome)!  So, as you can see, just about anybody would be a good fit in our group.  We like to meet on Sunday after the first service because it fits into our schedule and those with kids are able to drop them off at First Kids.

Young Families Connected

This group is for young families/Couples.  Feel free to bring kids along to group.  We generally start off with some food and catch up time, followed by sending the kids off to play in another room or outside.  Then we dive into a short video and discussion time.  We love building relationships with one another and building our relationship with Christ.  If we’re doing Zoom meetings we meet biweekly, at 8:30 pm.  If we’re meeting in person we meet monthly at 6 pm.  Our meeting day fluctuates depending on work schedules.

Tuesday Night Ladies Life Group

Sisters in Christ gathering together to encourage and support each other through their walk with Jesus.

Heemstra Life Group

RESUMING FALL 2020

We are a middle aged group of individuals who walk along side of each other and desire to grow closer to Jesus and deeper in our faith.  While we may be flawed, we may also be the only glimpse of Jesus that other people will see.  We encourage each other to be bold in sharing our faith and have fun in group together.

Season’s Change Life Group

Change is inevitable.  We may not always understand why something is happening, but need faith to realize God has a plan for our lives.  Our group will meet to discuss and encourage each other about God, faith, and family while sharing a meal together.  We are foster parents and welcome children to come to our group.  A babysitter will be provided.

Community In Prayer

STARTING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14:  A one hour focused prayer time covering current events – i.e. our government, our nation, our states, our church.  This is a time of intercessory prayer for racial equality, for the missionaries we support and for human trafficking.  Praying weekly using scripture as our base and humility as our posture.

Singles LifeGroup

Singles lifegroup for men and women who have graduated high school up until mid-thirties. On a general group day we meet up at our house, hangout, talk, eat snacks, play a short game and then watch a video from RightNow Media. We break off into two groups and discuss the video together. At this time we do not provide childcare.

Finding A Better You
