If you are looking for answers to these questions, then come and join us as we dive into the book of Revelation and study its relevance for us today.
How To Handle Money God's Way
Led by: Denny Prentis
Location: CCC
• Meets WEDNESDAYS at 7:00PM
With the economy reeling, many people are experiencing financial challenges such as credit card debt, downsizing, dead-end jobs, and inadequate or depleted savings. Spiritually, many people are struggling to maintain a biblical perspective amidst the constant tug of materialism. But there is hope. The Bible has a lot to say about money. In fact, the Bible is a veritable blueprint for managing your finances. Using the curriculum Your Money Counts (Howard Dayton), this group will discuss how to manage your personal finances in a highly practical, biblically-based way. This study will be conducted in total confidentiality and at no time will anyone be asked to disclose their personal financial information. This group is beneficial for adults of all ages- whether just learning to budget or wanting to dive deeper into what God says about finances and stewardship.

• Meets every other THURSDAY at 6:30PM
Let's build community as we walk through life together. This group is composed of adults primarily in our 40s/50s and this semester we will be studying Joshua: Courage for Everyday People by Louie Giglio. After roaming the wilderness for decades, God's people finally reached the Promised Land. But there were still obstacles that stood in their way. Securing the land God had promised them would require strength, courage, and faith. Our story today isn't too far removed from Joshua and the Israelites: we need the same strength, courage, and faith to face the challenges in our lives. Learn what it means to follow God faithfully, no matter what obstacles are before you. We will watch the short video together and follow up with a few group discussion questions. Come for the Bible study, stay for the fellowship.

YA Men's Bible Study
Led by: Pastor Tyler Green
Location: CCC
- Meets every other MONDAY at 7PM
In a world that constantly tells us "It's all about you," it's easy to slip into thinking we're the hero of our own story. But the book of Job flips that script, reminding us that life isn't centered on us—it's centered on the God who holds all things together. In this eight-session series, Francis Chan takes us deep into Job's story to show how God asserts His authority, displays His unmatched power, and calls us to live for His glory above all else. Together, we'll wrestle with questions of suffering, faith, and what it truly means to trust the Author of life when nothing makes sense. This group is for CCC Young Adult men who want to grow in their faith—and for older men who want to walk alongside and mentor them. Come build meaningful relationships, sharpen your walk with God, and plug in with an awesome group of men pursuing Christ together. Sign up today and get connected—you don't want to miss this.
