STUDIES & GATHERINGS

Growing in faith is a journey that lasts a lifetime.

UnSCRIPTed

Led by the Spirit • Grounded in the Word • Connected in Community

Looking for a space to connect, reflect, and simply be yourself?

UnSCRIPTed is a relaxed gathering focused on real conversation about life, relationships, faith, and the experiences that shape us. It's a place where people can share honestly, listen deeply, and build meaningful connections in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment.

We're intentionally setting church business aside to make room for what matters most: community, encouragement, and authentic relationships.

Each gathering begins with a short inspirational reading. It might come from Scripture, a devotional, a book such as Belonging by Melanie Dobson, or another meaningful source chosen by the facilitator for that day. From there, the conversation is guided by the people in the room and wherever the Spirit leads.

Bring a favorite Scripture, song, quote, story, or simply come as you are. Whether you're feeling inspired, searching for encouragement, or just looking for connection, there's a place for you here.

Everyone is welcome, including friends from the community and church. Even our pastor is invited to leave the work behind and simply enjoy the fellowship.

Gatherings will be announced here, by Messages, and on Facebook and Instagram. Some may be planned ahead, while others may happen more spontaneously when people feel the need for connection and support.

Previous Book Studies

May/June 2026: This book is an invitation to walk with Jesus on his final day. To sit beside him at the Last Supper and Pray with him in Gethsemane. We follow him to the cross, desert him, and deny him. Finally, we wonder at the resurrection together.

February 2026: Discussing the book “Forgiveness” by Adam Hamilton.
