GROW TIME

Build Your Life

Midweek matters.

That’s why we gather every Wednesday night at 7:00 PM for Grow Time—an intentional rhythm built to help you and your family grow deeper in your walk with Jesus. Whether you're new to faith or looking to be freshly stirred, there’s a space for you here.

From Bible-based teaching to practical classes for parents, leaders, and everyday believers, Grow Time is a place to be equipped, encouraged, and connected in community.

Come ready to be challenged, refreshed, and reminded of the beauty of growing together.

The Basics of the Gospel

Wednesdays, January 7 – February 11, 2026 | Classroom 2

MJoin us as we learn about the Gospels! This class includes a book, The Purple Basics, which is covered through your registration fee.

The gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ. He lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died . . . in our place. Three days later He rose from the dead, proving He is the Son of God and offering the gift of salvation and forgiveness of sins to anyone who repents and believes in Him.

Millions have attended church and studied Scripture yet lament they lack confidence to share the gospel. This study will give you both the confidence and clarity to communicate this life-changing message with others. Christ's death and resurrection provide the truth that the gospel is "public truth"— that Jesus actually lived, died, and rose again from the grave.

You can spend a lifetime studying Scripture and barely scratch the surface of God's knowledge. Yet He has communicated enough for you to know that He exists and how you can enter into a relationship with Him.

Each chapter includes:

  • Introductions to the Gospel Creed

  • Bible study questions to understand the gospel

  • Gospel summaries to master the message
