Small Groups

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Proverbs 27:17

Small Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Small Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.  Pine Valley Church is a church of Small Groups, not a church with Small Groups.

Is Genesis History?

Meets Wednesdays 6:00pm-7:30pm
Isn't it amazing, what a little information from the past to help change your view of the present and the present world around you? A lot of people have made a lot of assumptions. How do those assumptions effect how we view that history? But more importantly, how do they play in how we view science and the Bible? Did God create the world in a few days or billions of years? Is mankind descended from apes or did God create us instantly in His image? Was there a global flood that destroyed the earth, or is that a myth? In other words, Is Genesis History?

Unoffendable

Meets weekly on Tuesdays from 6-7:30pm
Unoffendable, gives you a concrete, practical way to live life with less stress. In our easily offended, cancel-culture society, learn how to replace perpetual frustration and anger with refreshing humility and gratitude.

It turns out giving up your "right" to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do. It's a radical, provocative idea: We're not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own "righteous anger" is a myth. It is the number one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard says, Christians have not been taught out of it. But what if Christians were the most unoffendable people on the planet?

We meet periodically to simply have fellowship, pray for needs and get better acquainted.  We usually eat as well!  You are welcome to join us!  For ages 55 and older.

I believe it is important that young adults have a place to come in their early years of beginning adulthood.

I want to include Highschool seniors in our group as they are in deep transition, and I want them to have people they can walk with closely during that transition.
