It is our hope that everyone, at some point, ventures through our three-part curriculum based growth group and be so inspired that by the end they'll start again while taking a group of friends through it too.

This course will walk you through the whole story of scripture.

You'll also have more confidence to read the Bible on your own as we discuss how the Bible came to be, why it's structured the way it is, how it's unique to other holy books and why we believe it's trustworthy.
