Learn with us in Epiphany

As a church, we are a learning community. We seek to mature and grow as apprentices to Jesus, equipped to follow Him in all of life. One of the ways we learn together is in January-February book groups. We gather in these groups to discuss a specific book or topic and learn and grow together. This year, we’re focusing on books that relate to our newly stated values as a church. Check them out below. Group leaders and meeting times are listed.
