Family Night Returns In...

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS ~ Wednesdays – Fall 2026
Wednesday Night Dinners - 5:00 PM to 6:15 PM
August 19 - November 18
6:30 | FIRSTMen – Men & Praying | 7 Weeks | Chapel | Justin Bindel
Every man can grow in prayer. Together we'll learn the patterns Jesus taught, develop a consistent prayer life, and discover that prayer is the foundation for strength, leadership, and spiritual influence. This six-week journey is designed to move us from talking about prayer to actually becoming men of prayer.
6:30 | FIRSTWomen: Seen by Jesus | 6 Weeks | Room 358 | Jayme Wood
One of the purest ways Jesus showed care to the women He encountered, during His earthly ministry, was seeing them deeper than the ways they were seen by others. What is beautiful is that that same God sees each of us in the same way. Deep, reconciling, and through eyes that see past who we are into who He has made us to be. Join us each Wednesday evening, beginning August 19, as we use the stories of these New Testament women as reminders that Jesus sees each one of us, where we are, and walks lovingly with us into who He has called us to be.
6:30 | Spanish 101 & Culture | 14 weeks | Room 357 | Esther Berndt
Spanish 101 & Culture is a fun, beginner-friendly class designed to help you learn practical Spanish while exploring the culture of our Spanish-speaking neighbors. Whether you're serving in ministry, building friendships, or simply want to communicate better, this class is a great place to start. No prior Spanish experience is needed.

6:30 | Re/Engage (married couples) | 13 weeks | Lory Hall | Scott & Marla Boswell

6:30 | Waiting for God's Best in Every Area of Your Life | 4 weeks | Room 356 | Jerry & Mary Royal (August 19 - September 9)
"Lessons Learned in the Wilderness" - Join us for a 4-week study of the Exodus journey from Egypt through the Wilderness to get to the Promised Land

Weeks 3: Promised Land: entering your promised land
Week 4: God's best for you - the wait is worth it
6:30 | REVIVE – Book of Ephesians | 13 Weeks | East Sanctuary |
Randy Osborn
The Church is a 'stuck duck!' Our egg got mixed in with a nest of duck eggs. And having hatched among ducks, we think we're one of them! We need to gaze into the reflecting pool of the Book of Ephesians and be reminded that we're not 'stuck ducks,' we are SWANS! Come dive-in to a refreshing reminder of our identity in Christ.
*6:15 | Financial Peace University | 9 weeks | Room 359 | Brenda Howard
As Christ-followers, we're called to trust the Lord with everything in our lives. Our marriages, our work . . . and our money. We will walk through God's ways of handling money so we can become better stewards of His money for His glory. There is a cost for the book/membership.
*6:15 | Grief Share | 13 weeks | Room 354 | Bill & Lesa Enlow & Craig Christian
A
GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief.

*6:15 | Divorce Care | 13 weeks | Room 350 | Jim Dilli & Marcia Bernhardt
DivorceCare’s life-changing support groups welcome people and guide them on the path of recovery after separation or divorce. Over 1 million people have found comfort and hope through this 13-week, video-based series. You don't have to go through this alone. We are here to help.
