We read in scripture that the early church met in the Temple Courts, but also in houses. Large group worship is essential for our spiritual growth, but small groups are where we can connect with each other on a more relational level.

In a small group, we study the Bible, eat together, care and pray for each other, and share our time and stories. Participating in a small group is the best way for adults (college-age and older) to connect with others in the church and live out our mission and vision.

Who: Couples, singles, families, young adult
What: Groups study scripture, eat together, care and pray for each other, and play together!
Where: Groups typically meet in a home, some meet at the church
When: Groups typically meet two times a month, 1st Semester is Oct 1-Dec 15, 2nd Semester is Feb 1-May 1

Small groups help people grow in their faith and build community. Our groups take place throughout the week, so use this form to find a group that's right for you. We'd love to have you join us!

Sometimes getting to know people in a large gathering is difficult.
We've created a simple way for people to connect with others from our community.
We call it Three's Company.

What we do is team up three families or individuals and ask them to meet three times in the next three months.
Each family takes a turn hosting or deciding what the group does that month.  

Our goal is to offer a simple avenue that allows our community to connect more intimately over a meal.
Three’s Company runs in the fall, winter, and summer, and people may sign up as many times as they'd like.

Women's ministry at Sunrise exists to help women transform the world through God's grace and love. We do that through Bible studies, prayer and intentional conversations with one another.

Leader: Carol VanHaitsma

Messy People:  Life Lessons from Imperfect Biblical Heroes, by Jennifer Cowart

God can turn your messy life into a masterpiece.
Every life gets messy at times. Sometimes these messes are literal, like a house that would be easier to condemn than to clean. But sometimes they are intangible messes such as illness, conflict, depression, abuse, bankruptcy, divorce, and job loss. And these messes can be painful, hurting our hearts and our homes. But as we see in the Bible, God loves to use messy people!

In this six-week study, we will dig into the lives of biblical heroes who were messy people just like us but who were used by God in powerful ways. Together we will examine the stories of five wonderful but messy people and one messy parable character: Rahab, the Prodigal Son, Josiah, Mary, David, and Daniel. From their stories, we will learn how God can use broken people, restore damaged hearts and relationships, give us power to handle our critics, and help us deal with the hard moments of life. Along the way we’ll discover that we don’t have to just endure messy lives but can actually learn to thrive with God’s guidance and help. In the hands of God, our messes can become His masterpieces!

A place where women hang out with other women to have some wine (or beer or cider or food) and talk about God, our lives, and how they intersect.

Join us this fall on the second Tuesday of the month. 

Sunrise is committed to helping men build strong faith in God and strong bonds with our brothers in Christ as men who will transform the world through God's grace and love. Let's walk together as we discover our uniqueness as husbands, fathers, businessmen and leaders.

With time and the right ingredients... good things happen. The format is simple: beer, conversation,
and God. Join with guys of varying opinions to enjoy drinks and learn from each other.

All men are welcome. Join us on the first Tuesday of the month around the fire at Noah Matthysse's home.
