SMALL GROUP RESOURCES

SERMON DISCUSSION GUIDES

While there will always be an opportunity for each group to discuss and apply the sermons from Sunday morning, there are other wonderful studies available. The following is a list of recommended resources for small groups to utilize. While we may not agree with every element in these studies, we do believe these are doctrinally sound and in line with our church’s mission and core values.
