GREATER SECURITY

In our uncertain world, it is easy to feel out of control, be plagued with worry, or to believe the lie that we must rely on ourselves to ensure our own security. These can produce in us a spirit of fear. Learn ways to understand and combat this.  Discover how meditating on Scripture and “remembering,” quiet the lies and help us work through present circumstances to depend on Jesus for real security.

GREATER HOPE

The challenges each day, the unexpected twists and turns, or the monotony of life, can sometimes leave us feeling like happiness, contentedness, and hope are unattainable. Depression can move in, diminish our hope, and we can easily lose purpose, passion, and perspective. You are not alone. Join us as we discover, together, where an undying hope and new perspective can be found.

RH YTHM

[Movement based breakout]

Join us in this breakout session to gain understanding of the natural rhythms in our mind, body, spirit. Identify the ways in which our rhythm becomes disconnected and out of sync.

GREATER STABILITY

Tired of feeling “up and down” and tossed “back and forth” by changing circumstances? Longing for greater spiritual, emotional, and relational stability? We will explore the anchors to continual and consistent joy-filled peace, connection, and gratitude amidst life’s struggles and challenges.

GREATER PEACE

[Art and Creativity based breakout]

The unpredictable situations of life can rob us of the peace that God wants us to be able to experience in Him.  The promise of peace that surpasses our own understanding will be explored in this breakout using the creative art process. We will discover why our peace can be weakened and encounter the many ways the Holy Spirit moves us into greater peace.

GREATER ADJUSTMENT

GREATER CONNECTION

God has created us all with the need for connection. Our broken world fractures the way we were intended to connect with God. We'll talk about what hinders you from connecting with your Heavenly Father and learn about the truths about your relationship with Him.

GREATER FAITH

Faith, by definition, is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Life, hope, and clarity about our situations, can be difficult when you can’t see ahead to “the rest of the story”.  It is easy to forget there is someone greater in control and “see” how he is at work. It is in the remembering and “seeing” God’s faithfulness in the past that gives us the confidence to boldly walk in faith in the present.  Join us as we explore God’s faithfulness that helps us believe in advance what will only make sense in the reverse.

GREATER JOY

Do you wonder why you aren’t experiencing more joy and contentment in your life? In our culture we are inundated with the idea that a better life, changed people, or different circumstances will increase our joy, but that is not where true joy is found.  So how do we find joy in any circumstance, good or bad? The answer is both easier and more challenging than you might think.  Join us as we discuss how greater joy is possible, essential, and within your reach.

GREATER CONFIDENCE

[Movement based breakout]

A lack of confidence within ourselves inhibits us from living freely, experiencing victory, and effectively moving into God’s purpose for us. When we are lacking the full confidence to step forward into bold action, God calls us to greater vulnerability and intimacy with Him. We will discover ways to embody greater confidence in Christ through visual learning, prayer, praise, body movement and group discussion.

GREATER IDENTITY

Oftentimes we don’t see ourselves the way God sees us. Everyday the world damages and confuses the reality of who we were created to be. We begin to believe lies rather than agreeing with the truth of who God says we are. Learn how to come into alignment with what the one who created ,and redeemed you, has said, is saying, and has declared over you.
