Empty Nest Small Group:
This is a new group being led by Carvel and Karen May, and it is designed for parents who are or will soon be empty nesters. Join and connect with other adults who are traveling through a similar journey: going through a unique season when kids are growing up and venturing into life on their own (or soon to be), or when you have to begin to care for aging parents and feel the challenges of role reversal. Folks around this season of life are welcome and encouraged to come together to share life, grow in their faith, and live it out together! Location and time are yet to be determined, but if interested, please reach out to the leaders! The teaching this group is covering this fall is “Spiritual Growth is a Choice” with content from Evangelist Greg Laurie, scenes from “The Chosen” series, and worship songs from Aaron Shust.
Target Group: Adults / parents in or around the "empty nest" season of life
Time & Place: Time & Place TBD, reach out to the leader to share your interest & they will decide details together soon!

DISCIPLESHIP BANDS
Want to go deeper? Consider forming a Discipleship Band, a group of 3-5 who focus on accountability & prayer.
What is a Discipleship Band?
Rooted in the early Methodist revival, Discipleship Bands are a historic, transformative, yet simple way to grow as followers of Christ through intentional, in-depth connection with a few other Christians. It works like this:
- 3-5 believers (of the same gender) choose to form a band. Discipleship Bands are meant for committed, growing Christians who are ready to interact in a mature and trusting way. It’s important that everyone involved is there with a desire to engage this process. You can choose your own group, or we can help you connect with others who are looking for a group.
- Pick a regular time (preferably once a week) to connect via phone / video call (or in-person when the restrictions are lifted)
- Take 45 minutes to an hour to connect with the same easy format each week (no prep required): 5 voluntary questions (not everyone has to answer every question every week) designed to help you reflect on how God is working in your life and where you need His healing and forgiveness, as well as a time to pray for one another with what is happening in your week.
