TOGETHER IN THE WORD | MATTHEW 18: 1-6

Together in the Word is a year-long church-wide journey through the New Testament designed to help every person, from kids to adults, develop a consistent rhythm of engaging God's Word. The heart behind this journey is simple: Every age and stage on the same page. That's why we've created Bible reading plans for kids, students, and adults so the whole family can engage the same passages each week and grow together in their faith. More than just a Bible reading plan, Together in the Word is also a sermon series. Each Sunday we’ll preach from a passage in that week’s readings, helping us connect what we’re learning throughout the week with what we’re experiencing in worship. Explore the reading plans HERE and join us on this journey through God's Word.

SEPTEMBER KIDS THEME | GOD NEVER CHANGES

This month, we’re focusing on the unchanging nature of God. While life is full of change and uncertainty, God remains the same; consistent in His love, perfect in His justice, and faithful in His ways (Hebrews 13:8). As we study how God calls, corrects, restores, and rescues His people, we’ll be reminded that our confidence as Christian parents doesn’t come from being perfect. It comes from God’s steady and unchanging love for us through Christ. Because God is faithful in both His mercy and judgment, we can trust Him even when life feels uncertain. His consistency gives us courage when we are afraid, strength when we are anxious, and a firm foundation when everything around us seems to change.

TOGETHER IN THE WORD

What if we could journey through the entire New Testament—together?
Together in the Word is a 48-week journey through the New Testament designed to help us read, reflect, and grow in God’s Word together. Each week, you’ll be given assigned chapters to read, followed by a sermon that recaps and explores what we’ve read. You’ll also receive Connect Notes to help you dig deeper and apply the message to your life.

And we don’t want to stop there!
Each Monday at 12:00 PM CST, we’ll gather online via Microsoft Teams for an open discussion group. We’ll talk through the previous week’s assigned chapters and sermon, share insights from the Connect Notes, ask questions, and connect with the current week’s reading.

Whether you’ve been studying the Bible for years or you’re just getting started, you’re invited to be part of the journey.

48 weeks. The entire New Testament. One community growing together in the Word. Come read. Come discuss. Come grow.

LEAD OR JOIN A MULTIPLY GROUP

Multiply Groups are gender-specific, closed groups of 3-5 believers who meet together weekly for the purpose of accelerated spiritual transformation. It is not evangelistic in its form or function, but in its fruit: It makes disciples who will then go on to make more disciples. Multiply Groups form through pre-existing, meaningful relationships with other believers in environments like Life Groups or Serve Teams. Because of this, Multiply Groups are not simply joined, but started.

As we work to live out the mission God has given us to be people connecting people to Christ and their unique role in God’s mission, Multiply Groups are an integral part of that process. Join us as we walk through what it looks like to start and lead a Multiply Group.

If you have any questions, please contact Billy Russell or Meredith Aylward Jordan. 

Click HERE to learn more about Multiply Groups.

JOIN A LIFE GROUP THIS FALL

We weren't meant to follow Jesus alone. Life change happens in community, and Life Groups are one of the best ways to grow in your faith and build meaningful relationships. Take a step toward community this fall as we become more like Jesus together.

 Explore available groups and find your next step along the disciple-making pathway.

Check out our Group Finder HERE.

CONSIDER LEADING A LIFE GROUP

Life is better together, and someone has to take the first step. As we prepare for our fall semester, we'd love for you to consider leading a Life Group and helping people connect with God and others in meaningful community. If you're interested or would like more information about leading, contact Meredith Aylward Jordan.
