WHAT ARE REACH GROUPS?  REACH GROUPS are small groups of people doing life together by meeting weekly over the course of a semester. They last about 60-90 minutes and meet on various days & times. They can meet on the church campus, in a home, at a diner – the possibilities are endless! We also have an online prayer group that meets through the ZOOM video conference platform. REACH GROUPS provide an opportunity to go deeper – living and learning gospel truth.

 

REACH CHURCH offers many opportunities to connect with others throughout the week and build relationships. We’re meant to navigate life together!

 

DO I NEED TO PURCHASE A BOOK? Book purchases are recommended for some REACH GROUPS, but they are not required. Participants can purchase a class book by following the links provided on our website. These links are provided as a courtesy and are only suggestions, as you may find more cost-effective resources on your own.

CO-ED GROUP

Facilitators:

Alexis & Yvonne Bronstorph

Class Description

Did you know that if you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have someone living inside you who knows everything?

 

The Holy Spirit can be misinterpreted as confusing, controversial, and weird. People often see the Holy Spirit as an “it” and don’t believe Him to be a person who can be understood and welcomed. The Holy Spirit wants to have a relationship with you. He has committed Himself to be your teacher, comforter, and guide.

 

In this six-session Robert Morris study, we’re going to take a closer look at the Holy Spirit. We’re going to talk about Who He is, the Day of Pentecost, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, as well as Speaking in Tongues.

TRULY FREE

FRI @ 7PM
CO-ED GROUP

Facilitator:

Gelayne Blyden

Class Description

What Is Keeping You from Being Truly Free?

 

Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” (Matthew 28:18). As believers, we have Christ and never need to be afraid, yet we are not immune to the effects of evil. Even if we’re saved and trust in Christ, we may still find areas in which we just can’t get victory. Maybe it’s a sin we’ve confessed again and again, or a constant struggle with depression, anger, or lust. These long-imbedded patterns of shameful living continue to entangle us day after day, month after month, and even year after year.

 

In this six-session Robert Morris study, we will examine the glorious truth that the promise of being set free from the slavery of sin is a promise to be set free completely. Although evil is real, we have the promise that the One who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus saves us, trains us to resist the power of evil, and delivers us from anything that holds us back. With Jesus, we can be finally free forever.

 

NOTE: This is a CO-ED GROUP that meets in person at 7PM on the church campus. REACH YOUTH for students in 6th thru 12th grade is available during this study night!
