The Feast

The Feast is an intense, Christ-centered discipleship and healing group that meets for fifteen weeks. We explore core issues of the soul: our identities as men and women, our relationships, our pasts, and our romantic and sexual choices. Through worship, teaching, prayer, the arts, and small groups, we address the reality that we’re all growing in our ability to love and be loved, and we discover together the restoration Jesus brings.

Regenerate: Freedom for Love

Regenerate is an 8-week group for women dealing with the hindrances to loving God, self, and others. We will address unhealed mother and father wounds, breakdowns in the developmental process, and our fears and ambivalence about vulnerability. This group is designed to face our losses and find life-giving ways to receive what we need in order to find freedom to risk, to cultivate intimacy, and to grow in healthy relationships. Each week will include reading assignments and homework, and the group time will focus on processing and sharing, receiving feedback, and, if desired, receiving prayer from the facilitator.
