Peter and Jude were writing to people who were under pressure. The early church had fallen under the influence of false teachers, who led immoral lives and taught lies about God. Peter and Jude wrote to help the believers stand firm. In our own day we have witnessed believers who have stumbled and fallen into serious sin. All of us are under pressure. So how can we stay on track? Join us for this six week study of 2 Peter and Jude to learn how to better stand firm in your faith. We will meet for six Fridays: 6/9, 6/16, 7/14, 7/21, 8/4 and 8/11.
We want to foster a place where we can build community and have fun! Our plan is to play different sports every two-three weeks. Our games include (but not limited to) soccer, sand volleyball, basketball, pickle ball, and cornhole/spikeball! Due to the variety of our games, it is best to sign up to get the location of that week! We will reach out to you to let you know which location we will be! Leaders: Kiyun Lee & Emily Peters

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.
