Life Groups

Life Groups Logo

We call our small groups Life Groups. Life Groups include every aspect of Christian living and community Jesus taught and demonstrated to His disciples, the first Life Group. An apple tree will only produce fruit if placed with other apple trees; they must have the cross pollination that comes from being with other trees. Believers must have the love, support, and interaction that come from being with other believers. In order to grow in Christ and produce the fruit God desires in us, we need to learn to live together in the kind of community that will come as we grow in Christ together in Life Groups.

Life Groups meet weekly from September through May and meet occasionally for fellowship during the summer. Beginning in September each group focuses on the same topic, using the same material for approximately 10 weeks. This creates a wonderful opportunity for church unity. For the remainder of the year, each Life Group selects its own topic of study.

We invite you to become involved in this small group (8-12 people) atmosphere for study of God’s word, worship, ministry, outreach and fellowship. If you would like to participate or have any questions please contact the church office at (804) 730-9512.

In Life Groups, we are doing life together, by living according to God’s Word, growing in Christ and enjoying Him and one another.

Our Current Life Groups include (some groups are not meeting due to the pandemic, this list will be updated as groups start meeting again):

Sunday School

Sunday School

We have a variety of adult classes all meeting each Sunday at 9:15 a.m. We are committed to teaching the Word of God and to the consistent presentation of the gospel message of salvation.

Our Current Sunday School classes include:

  • Crossbearers
    Class: Crossbearers
    Teacher(s): Bill Cumby
    Topic of Study: Book of Romans
    For Ages: Adults
    Meets: Weekly on Sunday at 9:15 am
    Location: Cross Bearers classroom

    The Crossbearers Sunday School Class will be studying the Book of Romans over the next few months. We will read, discuss, and look at some questions about each chapter that Paul wrote to the people in Rome before his coming.

    The Book of Romans tells us about God, who He is and what He has done. It tells us about Jesus Christ and what His death accomplished. Paul shows us what we were like without Christ and who we became after trusting in Christ. Paul points out that God did not expect us to have our lives straightened out before coming to Christ. He realized that we are still sinners that Christ died for on a cross. Through learning about righteousness, the main theme of Romans, Paul shows us how the Holy Spirit can guide us along the right path.

    Come join us as we study this important book of the Bible during the Sunday School time and experience how Paul shows us the grace and mercy of God by sending his Son, Jesus Christ, and being not ashamed to spread the Gospel.

Women’s Fellowship Opportunities

Women in the Vine

Activities designed just for women provide opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship, and bonding with your sisters in Christ.

Women in the Vine – is our women’s ministry deriving its name from John 15:5. Our mission is to establish our value through a personal relationship with God; to use His Word to inspire us to walk out His plan for our lives; to help nurture our God given desires, hopes and dreams through fellowship; and to encourage outreach in every direction. We meet monthly and always have a good time together. Whether we are listening to a speaker, going out to dinner, or painting ceramic tiles at a pottery studio, there is always lots of love and laughter to go around.

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me bears much fruit.
However, apart from Me you can do nothing.

John 15:5
