WHERE DISCIPLESHIP, COMMUNITY, AND SERVICE INTERSECT

Life is better when it is lived in relationship with others. Vertical Church Community Groups are small groups of people from all ages, stages, and walks of life who spend time together around the shared life of Jesus, studying His Word and encouraging one another to live out His principles.

Members of Community Groups are known, loved, cared for, encouraged, and challenged to be more like Jesus. Come join a Community Group and let’s do life together!

Bible Study for Adults

This is a new group where adults of all ages can study the Bible together! The group will begin with a discussion of the book of First John, using an inductive format.  At each meeting, we’ll examine approximately 10 verses, discussing what the Holy Spirit has revealed regarding the context of the passage, the meaning of the text, and of course, its application for our lives.  As we dig deeply into the text, we’ll have an opportunity to grow in our understanding of God’s Word and in friendship and fellowship with one another.  We will gather at Cathy and Adreas Scholz's home! Email us below for address and other details.

First & third Sunday of each month from 7-9pm; at Cathy & Andreas Scholz's home

Women’s Bible Study via Zoom

This Bible study meets online through Zoom the first and third Thursday of each month from 7-8:30pm for fellowship and the opportunity to study God’s Word together.  Although the Zoom format was originally started due to COVID,  we have continued in this format because it allows the flexibility for us to meet when we are traveling, when there is bad weather, or when life just gets busy.  We simply log in from any location!  The format is an inductive study, as we ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in examining (individually and as a group) the context, interpretation, and application of the text.  No matter where you are in your faith walk, an inductive study will help deepen your understanding of God’s Word as we share and learn from one another. Contact Bev Bright and Cathy Sholz for more info.

Meets the first and third Thursdays of each month,
7-8:30pm, via Zoom
