Mondays

Sunrise Men’s Bible Study

What better way to start your new morning, and new week, than with time in God’s Word? This is an ongoing, year-round men’s bible study. We are currently engaged in studying the First and Second Letters of Peter. We meet in a hybrid format, welcoming people into a church classroom, as well as opening a zoom meeting to join in remotely. At the end of each meeting, we pray for one anothers’ needs and continue to pray for each other throughout the week.

Mondays at 6:30 am

ACTS: The Spread of the Gospel

The book of Acts is a carefully-recorded history of the explosive spread of the gospel and the rapid growth of the church after Christ’s ascension. In one of the most tumultuous, violent and dramatic books in the entire Bible, Acts starts with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, without which the young church could never have survived the unleashing of rage and prejudice towards these radical followers of The Way.

Throughout Acts, God shows His infinite power regardless of the circumstances, just as He continues to do today. 

This is an ongoing group but anyone is welcome to jump in!

Marriage Ministry: The Crazy Cycle

In this 4-part series, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs sheds light on an often overlooked, yet indispensable element of a healthy marriage-respect. Combining biblical instruction with scientific expertise, Emerson provides insight into the unique ways in which God has designed both men and women and how they can rightly embrace their differences in marriage. As couples come to see the heart behind their partner’s complaints, they will better understand the place for both love and respect between husband and wife. Rather than becoming another statistic, struggling marriages can break their Crazy Cycle and become thriving marriages by living in accordance to God’s good design.
