How to Be a Man // Men // Mondays // 6:30-7:30pm 

Topic: How to Be a Man
Audience: Men // Led by: Chris Hoagland
Mondays (2x/month) // 6:30-7:30pm  //  Location: CCC and other locations

Manhood is in crisis. In the majority of our churches, men make up the minority of regular attenders, and many of the men who show up on Sunday mornings are disconnected from the work and life of the church. How can men become who God wants them to be?

And what does it even mean to be a man anyway?

The truth is that it’s impossible to be a man without grounding your definition of manhood in the person of Christ. Through group discussion, and yes, even the occasional Monday Night Football game, this group will explore eight core characteristics from the person of Christ that all men can seek to exemplify in their own lives and grow in their Christ-centered manhood. 

The book “How to Be A Man: Pursuing Christ-Centered Masculinity” by Rick Burgess and Andy Blanks is recommended but not required.

Required book: A personal Bible or Bible app

Genesis - the Book of Beginnings // Women // Tuesdays // 9:00-10:30am

Topic: Genesis – the Book of Beginnings
Audience: Women // Led by: Melva Frederick
Tuesdays // 9:00-10:30am // Location: CCC

Genesis is the first book of the Bible and lays the foundation for everything that follows. Its name means “beginning,” and fittingly, it opens with the creation of the world by God. In Genesis, we see the origin of the universe, humanity, sin, family, nations, and God’s covenant with His people.

Genesis reveals God’s character, His faithfulness, and His desire for relationship with us. Through thoughtful reading of Genesis and discussion, this group will discover the powerful mix of big-picture truths and deeply personal stories that help us understand where we come from, why the world is broken, and how God is at work to redeem it.

A personal study Bible is highly recommended.

The Book of Revelation // General // Tuesdays // 6:30-8:00pm 

Topic: The Book of Revelation
Audience: General // Led by: Phil & Cindy Scott
Tuesdays // 6:30-8:00pm  //  Location: CCC

Reading the last book of the New Testament can feel intimidating, filled as it is with images that seem bizarre and scenes that seem horrific to the modern reader. But at its core, Revelation revolves around discipleship: living ‘in the world, but not of it’ as communities faithful to God. Reading Revelation’s message of hope and challenge together as the original churches did, this group will share how these visions call us and form us as we eagerly anticipate the new creation.

A personal study Bible is highly recommended.

Wisdom in the Proverbs // Women // Wednesdays // 6:30-8:00pm

Topic: Wisdom in the Proverbs
Audience: Women in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s // Led by: Rachael Peters & Amanda Perkins
Wednesdays (2x/month) // 6:30-8:00pm  //  Location: CCC

The book of Proverbs describes godly wisdom as a path that leads to life and flourishing. It also warns of the folly of worldly wisdom as a path that leads to the grave. Every day we face the choice between the true riches of God’s instruction or the fool’s gold of earthly pleasures and pursuits. How often do we call to mind the wisdom found in the sayings of Proverbs to shed light on the path before us? How relevant do we even believe these ancient words are to our modern world?    

Through video lessons, guided devotions, and thoughtful discussions, this group will consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like words, work, friendship, marriage, parenting, neighborliness, money management, leadership influence, and more.

Required Book: “The Way of Wisdom” by various authors (available at Community Central or online retailers); personal Bible or Bible app

The book Stranger on the Road to Emmaus presents a clear and compelling overview of the Bible’s central message — from Genesis to the resurrection of Jesus — showing how all Scripture points to Christ.

Designed for those who are new to the Bible as well as longtime believers, the study helps participants connect the dots between the Old and New Testaments, making the gospel message not only understandable but deeply meaningful. Using vivid illustrations and a logical, chronological approach, Cross guides readers through key biblical events, answering essential questions like: Who is Jesus? Why did He come? And what does it mean for us today?

Come ready to explore the Bible in a fresh way and engage in meaningful discussion that deepens faith and brings clarity to the message of salvation.
