Description: The Familiar Stranger- Tyler Staton
Have you ever felt there’s a gap between the life promised in the Bible and the one you’re living? For many followers of Jesus, the Holy Spirit is a familiar stranger—a rumored figure we know of, but don’t truly know. We hear stories of God’s power but struggle to see it in our own lives. This study guide is an invitation to close that gap. Join pastor and author Tyler Staton on a six-session journey to rediscover the most misunderstood person of the Trinity. Moving from rich theology to practical application, this study provides a framework to experience the Holy Spirit in profound, new ways.
You will learn to:
- Hear God’s Voice: Develop the practice of discernment to recognize God’s whisper amidst the noise.
- Move in God’s Power: Explore the spiritual gifts of prophecy, healing, and more, not as ancient history, but as a present reality.
- Redeem Your Pain: Understand how God meets us and works through our suffering.
To join, please contact the facilitator of this group.

It’s a place to connect authentically, encourage one another, and grow deeper in our walk with Christ. As iron sharpens iron, we challenge and hold each other accountable to live as Godly men—strengthening our character, our families and relationships, and our impact in the world.

Mixed Study - Armor of God
Facilitator: Donna May
Contact Email: dmay765@gmail.com
Location: Alliance Community Church
Time: Monday's beginning April 13 at 6:00PM
Topic: All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you ― unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you. The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a person dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory. To join, please contact the facilitator of this group.
Widows Life Group
Facilitator: June Rivers & Korene Volkman
Contact Email: tjpearson887@gmail.com
Location: 28 Lakeway Blvd
Time: Every other Thursday, 6:00pm
Topic: Book of Joshua- Louie Giglio
Courage for Everyday People. After roaming the wilderness for decades, God's people finally reached the Promised Land. But there were still obstacles that stood in their way. Securing the land God had promised them would require strength, courage, and faith.
In this eight-session series, Pastor Louie Giglio shows us that our story today isn't too far removed from Joshua and the Israelites: we need the same strength, courage and faith to face challenges in our lives. Join Louie and learn what it means to follow God faithfully, no matter what obstacles are before you. To join, please contact the facilitators of this group.
