Life Groups

A Life Group is primarily about relationships, community, and living out our faith together. Life Groups provide a smaller setting where people can know one another, pray together, encourage one another, share life's joys and challenges, and grow as followers of Jesus. NOTE: Life Groups typically meet in homes.


Life Groups create space for that kind of intentional community. Every Life Group studies Scripture together, but the emphasis is not simply on learning Biblical content—it's on the people and the relationships.


A Life Group is a place to:

  • Build genuine friendships and Christian community
  • Pray for and encourage one another
  • Share life's challenges and victories
  • Apply God's Word to everyday life
  • Serve others together
  • Grow in Christ alongside people who know you and care about you

Bible Classes 

A Bible Class is primarily about learning and understanding God's Word. Bible Classes provide an environment where you can study Scripture, ask questions, gain biblical knowledge, and grow in your understanding of what God has revealed to us. NOTE: Bible Classes typically meet at High Tide Church.


A Bible Class is a place to:

  • Study Scripture in greater depth
  • Learn biblical truth and principles
  • Ask questions and seek understanding
  • Explore specific books, topics, or themes of the Bible
  • Grow in biblical knowledge
  • Learn how to apply God's Word to your life

    The gospel is about Jesus Christ and His power to transform our lives and our relationship with Him as well as with others. As Christians we have a new identity that defines every aspect of our lives based solely on our faith in Jesus. Our sin, weakness and failures no longer define who we are. We will be using the workbook “Gospel Transformation” (second edition, World Harvest Missions) to help us further understand how receiving and resting in the truths of the gospel translates into a Christian life of joy, peace, freedom and love.

    Some of the most powerful people in the Bible are the ones you've probably never heard of. In GHOSTED, we'll dive into the stories of overlooked people like Veronica, Agur, and Onesimus—ordinary people whose lives reveal extraordinary truths about God's grace, purpose, identity, and redemption. Though they may have been forgotten by history, they were never forgotten by God.


    If you've ever felt overlooked, uncertain about your purpose, or wondered if your story really matters, this series is for you. God has always used unexpected people to accomplish His greatest purposes, and He is still doing it today.


    Join us as we discover that the people the world overlooks are often the very ones God chooses to change the world. Because you are never forgotten by the God who knows your name.

    Grace is not just something God gives—grace is who He is. Because God is grace, His desire is not only that we experience it, but that we live it and allow it to shape our lives. Grace becomes the sphere of the Christian life: received from God, lived out daily, and extended generously. This group meets on 2nd & 4th Sundays.

    Motherhood is a joy-filled, challenging, and gloriously good blessing from God. But it doesn’t always feel that way. Motherhood is also hard. And it’s common for mothers—new or seasoned—to struggle with their identity apart from being “Mom.”


    Through daily scripture reading, gospel-centered commentary, and practical application questions, “Flourishing in Motherhood” will walk you through common identity struggles moms face and help you understand how your identity in Christ empowers you to be the godly mom you so long to be.

    How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

    Every great soap opera has it all... Broken families. Jealous siblings. Betrayal. Lies. Temptation. Unexpected twists. Long seasons of waiting. And just when you think the story is over... everything changes.


    Sound familiar? Welcome to As the Dream Turns, a women's Bible study following the unforgettable life of Joseph. His story has all the drama of a daytime classic—but with one life-changing difference: The Author is God.


    Joseph's journey takes him from favored son to slave, from prisoner to ruler, through heartbreak, betrayal, and unexpected plot twists. Along the way, we'll discover how God was working behind the scenes, even when Joseph couldn't see the bigger picture.


    Join us as we explore Joseph's story and discover the truth that when God is writing the story, even the greatest drama can become a beautiful redemption story. Because when God writes the story... the dream is never over.
