Finding a Small Group is no longer so hard to do!
We recognize that your time is valuable, and it can be hard to commit to an indefinite period of time in a Small Group. By operating on a semester system, there are natural breaks throughout the year for you to join or step out for a while as your schedule changes. We launch semester based groups three times a year in the fall, winter, and spring, and they run for 8-12 weeks.
This winter/spring semester, our Small Groups are based on a variety of topics selected by our Small Group Leaders. We are also offering the opportunity to continue to follow our church-wide teaching series The Story - read the Bible in one seamless story from beginning to end. Many of our Small Groups will be continuing this study.
It's easy to sign up...
Online sign up for the winter/spring Small Group semester is now closed. For more information on Small Groups, please contact Lisa at lpeters@staalliance.org.
All groups are mixed adult unless otherwise stated.

Code: D-124-we-1 Revelation Study
Leader: Paul Quantz
Jesus said a lot in the book of Revelation that’s critical for Christians to understand, but sometimes this final part of God’s word raises more questions than it answers. Just what is really going to happen? Who’s going to do what to whom? Are the visions and images to be taken literally or figuratively? And why did God put this mysterious book into the Bible at all? In this fascinating look at the apostle John’s prophecy, you will be helped to sort out the action, be shown why your daily lives should be affected by the book of Revelation and best of all, you will see demonstrated why when God’s involved– the end of the world is something to look forward to.
