A next step in ...becoming like Christ

Home Groups

Home Groups are another opportunity to CONNECT with a small group of 8 to 20 people who meet in a comfortable home environment to see what God’s Word has to say about our everyday lives. Our goal is three-fold: First, that you would experience deep spiritual transformation – that you would become like Christ. Second, that in time you would find intimate fellowship with the others in your group as you meet and pray with one another. And third, that your group would grow and multiply into our community.

Home Groups are closed to new members while a particular study is in progress. However, every 6-10 weeks the groups have a chance to breathe and allow new members to join the group for the next study so be sure to check back often.

Registration is not required. Books will be available the first night. For more information, contact Karen Thrower at 850.476.2233 x11 or kthrower@hillcrestchurch.com.

    The Story
    Tuesdays | 6:30p

    “The greatest story ever told” is more than just a cliché. God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. This is what The Story is all about—the story of the Bible, God’s great love affair with humanity. Condensed into 31 chapters, The Story sweeps you into the unfolding progression of Bible characters and events from Genesis to Revelation. Using the clear, accessible text of the NIV Bible, it allows the stories, poems, and teachings of the Bible to read like a novel. And like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption—and this story’s true!

    The Forgiveness of Jesus
    Mondays | 6:30p

    We all carry it—guilt and shame. We’ve all done things we should not have done. We carry it; we think about it; it keeps us awake at night; we can’t shake it; it drags us down; it keeps us from fully enjoying life. Jesus came to take away our shame, to forgive us—allowing us to move from guilt and shame to freedom and forgiveness. As we examine the guilt-laden and burdened people Jesus encountered and set free, we will begin to see that he has the same plan for us today. He longs for us to fully understand the forgiveness and freedom for which he gave his life.
