Grow
Deepen your Discipleship to Jesus
The aim of our lives is to be formed into the image of Jesus—to become people of love.
Take your next step on that journey—participating with God as He cultivates the fruit of his Spirit in you, immersing yourself in prayer and Scripture, spiritual practices, participation in lectures, courses, conferences, mentoring, spiritual direction, and/or counseling designed to help you do vitally important interior work.

Course

Join us for The Marriage Course, seven sessions created by Alpha to help couples strengthen and invest in their relationship.
Each gathering includes time to learn together and space for private conversation as a couple.

How Scripture forms us
Thursdays, 6:30–8:30 PM
July 16 - August 13
We invite you to slow down and experience Scripture differently, not just for information, but as meditation literature meant to be read slowly, reflected on, and lived out.
Together, we’ll explore meditation as a form of study, learning simple, practical tools to read the Bible more attentively and openly.
Our hope is that Scripture won’t just inform you, but shape your life. If you’re looking to grow in how you read the Bible and create space to hear from God, join us.
alpha
If you are in crisis, or on a spiritual quest, Alpha is a safe space to explore questions about life, faith, and meaning with others.
Women’s Bible study
Our South Hills Women's Bible Study is taking a break for the summer and will resume in September. This Fall, we'll be studying 2 Corinthians.
Lectures
Spiritual gifts lecture
Wednesday, 7:00–9:00 PM
August 5
Saratoga
In this interactive lecture, we’ll explore what Scripture says about spiritual gifts and how they build up the Church. We’ll learn, ask questions, and grow in understanding.
You’ll also have space to reflect and begin discerning your own gifts through discussion, Q&A, and prayer, recognizing how God is already at work in you.
Whether you’re new or have been exploring this for a while, come ready to learn, engage, and take your next step.
