Life Groups
Life Groups are small community groups. This is a safe place for you to grow spiritually and connect with others in your walk with God.
A large church can be overwhelming, and without community it's not enough for the spiritual development of yourself and your family. Being a part of a Life Group is a significant part of The Journey.
We offer childcare for Wednesday night and Thursday morning Life Groups. Click the button to register!

Unshackled
Leader: Dr. James Johnson
When: Begins September 18 • Wednesdays @ 6:30pm
Where: Music Suite B/C
Contact: james@keys4.orgDr J challenges the idea that it is ok to ignore and live in the shackles of unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment toward others because of past injuries. Using biblical principles, learn that forgiveness is not renewing trust but rather learning how it is a choice before God. The class will challenge our entitlement to become offended or stay angry at other people. In combination with Dr J’s book “Unshackled: Breaking Free from Unforgiveness, Bitterness and Resentment”, the class will also be studying the book by Brant Hanson “Unoffendable: How One Change can Make Life Better” and using the material by Dr Bruce Hebels on “Forgving Forward”
