My hope is that everyone will find a place and people to do life together in a Life Group, learning your true identity in Jesus and who He is, to know His extravagant love, to be a disciple and how to make disciples of Jesus. Through this, my prayer is that you will grow closer to Him in a personal relationship and with the church body. May you all feel welcome and know that you belong to the family of God.

Join us for a time of prayer, devotions, and/or testimonies while fellowshipping with other men during breakfast.

C – Foundations – Led by Latrael Mayo – Meets at 11AM in the Church Office Conference Room – Sign up at the Information Desk – When class is full we’ll contact you with the start date - Will resume during the summer semester
This is a foundational class for anyone, whether a new believer or who has been a Christian for a while. Have you ever wondered why some people keep growing in their faith, yet others seem to stay stuck or even go backwards? It all comes down to foundations. The foundation must be established in Christ to build on. But if the foundation is lacking, the building will inevitably fail. Most of us know this feeling of defeat, personally. God wants so much more for us, that's why in His Word, He's laid out the exact building blocks we need to develop an unshakeable faith.
In Foundations, you'll learn what the building blocks are and how to build your life on them so you can weather whatever storms life throws at you. Whether you’re just starting as a new believer in Christ or you need to go back and fix some cracks, it's time to expedite your spiritual growth by building the right way with the firm foundation. This study is based on Hebrews 6:1-3. This is an 8 week class covering: repentance from dead works, faith towards God, the doctrine of baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.” Join us anytime.

Tuesday (No Childcare)
LG – Forgiveness by Rodney Hogue – Led by Arien Dwyer – (Women) – Please sign up at the Information Desk. (Limited Space) – Full
This class is for those who have found it difficult to forgive. Do you know you should forgive but you just can't? Have you ever wondered to yourself, 'why is it important to forgive?' or 'what is unforgiveness doing to me?' or "is it really possible for me to forgive and get past this offense?' Have you ever convinced yourself that you are somehow punishing your offender by retaining the offense? Do you think that somehow forgiving someone is just letting them off the hook? You may not realize it but forgiveness is more important for what it does for you than what it does for your offender. Do you realize that your offender still has power over parts of your life until you forgive? You’ll learn how to forgive and why. Some people need to wrestle through this process in order to solidify it in their lives. Sometimes we find themselves wondering if we really did forgive since feelings of unforgiveness still linger. There are too many misconceptions of what forgiveness really is and it requires clarification. Join us to get a better understanding of what forgiveness really means and how to walk in it.

Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to them. Matthew 5:6, tells us the blessings of those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
In Psalm 63, A psalm of David, when he was in the Desert of Judah, he said, You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. And God said of David, he is a man after my own heart. My prayer and hope through this Life Group is that we would be a woman after God’s own heart, seeking Him in all that we do in our daily lives. We’ll do this through: learning what it means to minister to the Father’s heart, discussing His word, encouraging each other in love and how to be disciples of Jesus, and learning to disciple others in our daily lives. Ladies, we’re diving into the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Join us and bring a friend. Contact Regina Terry at 601-591-1154 or [email protected] to be added to the text list through GroupMe. Blessings!

Common Questions?
WHAT HAPPENS AT A LIFE GROUP MEETING?
You’ve probably seen life groups meeting and not even realized it. A life group looks like friends at lunch or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a life group is a gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in life groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common study, engage in life giving conversation and prayer.
HOW OFTEN DOES A LIFE GROUP MEET?
Our life groups meet for three semesters a year—winter/spring, summer, and fall. During the semester, most groups meet once a week. Life groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life so even if you can’t attend every, single meeting, there is still great value in joining a group. During the in between semesters, we have a few continuous (ongoing) groups. These will be posted at the Information Counter and on the Website
WHERE DO LIFE GROUPS MEET?
Life groups meet in places like homes, restaurants, coffee shops and at the church.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL LIFE GROUP STAY TOGETHER?
Most life groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.
IS THERE CHILDCARE AVAILABLE?
Childcare is available for our Wednesday and Sunday morning during services and night Life Groups that meet at the church. Each day will indicate whether we have childcare available or not.
WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE THE FIRST GROUP I TRY?
The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in life groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!
