Check out our Fall 2024 Groups! Our Tower Hill groups are designed to find ways to fit more God in your busy lifestyle and to help you meet other Christians. We launch new groups 3 times a year – in the spring, fall and winter. FALL SMALL GROUP SIGN UPS HAVE CLOSED.
Starts 10/3 |For those that want to take the next step in growing a deeper faith in Jesus.
*Leader: Pastor Chris* The Rooted experience will take us on a 10-week journey of learning foundational Christian beliefs and practicing discipleship from the New Testament. Dive into a deeper connection with God, purpose, and the Church. Experience the joy of following Jesus and build strong connections within the church community. Meets every Thursday for 10 weeks with Pastor Chris. *For those that want to take the next step in growing a deeper faith in Jesus.* Purchase of “Rooted” Workbook is required
*Leaders Natalie DeStefano & Monica Duque* We live in a culture that's all about self, becoming the best "me" I can be instead of becoming like Jesus. This me-centered message affects every area of our lives--our friendships, our marriages, even our faith--and it breaks each one in different ways. The self-focused life robs our joy, shrinks our souls, and is the reason we never quite break free of insecurity. In this 5 week video study we will learn a bigger, Jesus-centered vision--one that restores our freedom and inspires us to live for more. This group meets at Tower Hill’s Connect Center on Fridays at 10am with leaders Monica Duque and Natalie DeStefano. *For Women*
*Leader Kari Larson* Keep connected with God and grow your faith along with other women age 18-25. This small group video study meets on zoom on Mondays throughout the fall, starting October 14. *For Young Adult Women 18-25*
Runs 9/25-11/20 | For All Ages
*Leader: Pastor Theresa* Daniel: Perseverance and Prophecy We will consider the story of Daniel, who remains faithful in a land foreign to him and his God .

We often face circumstances that we cannot change: a job we are forced to keep; a relationship that did not work out; a decision we cannot take back.

~ Meg
I found my friends in a small group and now my kids have grown up with their kids. It was like having another batch of moms at my disposal, and truthfully it’s been a great growing experience for our entire family
~ Lauren
Because of my small group I can now walk through life knowing I have more than 20 brothers in Christ to call upon in my time of need…or success. In those small group settings you’ll figure things about yourself that may surprise you.
~ Chris
My small group helped me many times through the years especially after I experienced loss. They were there for me, they prayed for me, and they were just like sisters. If you are hesitant to sign up, my advice is to give it a try.
