GROWTH GROUPS
Learn and grow with us!
Throughout the year our leaders head up groups to provide an opportunity to study Scripture in community. These groups allow us to go deeper into the text, develop personal relationships in the body, and pray together. We launch new Growth Groups each quarter, so stay tuned for new groups you can join. Our next groups will launch in September of 2023.
Below you'll see a complete list of our upcoming Fall 2023 growth groups.
DOOLITTLE GROWTH GROUP
Sunday Mornings from 10:15am - 11:30am
This Growth Group will begin on Sunday, September 10th to study, fellowship, and develop stronger ties within the body of believers.
Format: In-person, meeting at CrossPoint
Study: The Book of Psalms
The Book of Psalms
No part of the Bible is more loved or more quoted in the book of Psalms. Its words have healed more hurts and dried more tears than any other section of scripture. Every human emotion finds expression in Psalms, emotions from rage to love, from despair to soaring confidence. Maybe that’s why the chapters in the Psalms are turned to more, memorized more, and treasured more than any other chapters of God‘s word.
This study will help us understand whether it’s a prayer, a promise, or a sense of purpose that you’re searching for, you’ll find your heart lifted and your spirit renewed by these inspired reminders of God’s steadfast presence.

Living My Life for Christ
Jesus said to his disciples, "Whomever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me", what a powerful statement. Our growth groups are all about making disciples but how do you become a disciple? Jesus gives us a clear message on what we must do and what steps I can take, on a daily basis, to be more Christlike? This group will focus on this verse and break down the main points of Jesus's direction. We will explore ways to grow in our faith, to be more disciplined in our walk with God, and grow towards a deeper appreciation of what it means to take up our cross. This group is for those new to the faith, those that have been in the faith for 50 years, and anyone in between. Can't wait to explore God's plan for our spiritual growth with each and every one of you.

Study: Life Lessons from the Book of Philippians
Life Lessons from the Book of Philippians
In an era marked by frustration, could you use more contentment? In a world filled with anxieties, worries, and fears, could you stand to have a bit more joy?
The believers in Philippi were struggling. They were trying to grow in faith and live for Christ. Trying to deal with conflict and threats of persecution. The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead, he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment.
Paul's confidence reminds us of God's wisdom and control in the difficult moments of life. His excitement challenges us in this guide to joy. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of Philippians, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:
-
By faith we have Christ in us because of the Spirit of God.
-
Only Christ can bring salvation.
-
Christian unity encourages our faith.
- This is an ongoing group -
MEN'S GROWTH GROUP

Life Lessons from the Book of Ephesians

This group will be reading through the Book of Ephesians, verse by verse, and using Max Lucado book, “Life Lessons from the Book of Ephesians” to answer questions, dig deeper, and get to know each other as men.
This Men's Growth Group meets Friday evenings to study, fellowship, and develop stronger ties within the body of believers.
