Apple Valley

Saturday at 7:00 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.

God desires we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances—family, work, health, or even temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us we can actually do this!

You are welcome here! This is a "join at any time" women's group. The Promise Principle is a powerful tool to teach women how to hear the voice of God through reading the Bible. It calls ladies to a daily connection with God in which He speaks clearly through His Word and promises transformation, power and direction in our everyday lives. The Promise Principle experience propels women forward, igniting a passion to seek, hear and obey God's voice, therefore inspiring those around us to follow Him.
