Girls Club
Girls must be entering 2nd or 3rd grade or 4th or 5th grade are invited for a fun, engaging bible study small group. Our goals with Girls Club are to build community and friendships, encourage our daughters to go deeper in their walk with Jesus, and anchor our daughters in Biblical truth and in the church as a safe place they can come to with their worries and questions.
Running for 8 Monday nights from 6-8pm starting Sept 15. Dinner is included!
Alpha
Join us on Monday evenings at 6pm, starting September 15. Dinner (+ childcare) will be provided.
Alpha is like a dinner party...followed by group conversation where we explore the big questions of life, spirituality, and faith from a Christian lens...all in a laid back and non-judgmental environment. Each session features a 25-minute film designed to inspire questions and is led by a host who facilitates the conversation around the session's big question. No question is off-limits. You're free to share and ask as much or as little as you like. If you’re curious, skeptical, or just have questions, bring them to Alpha and explore them with new friends!

Whether you're new to New Story or ready to go deeper, this is a chance explore who you are, what you’re made for, and how to take your next step toward a deeper, more grounded life with Jesus.
