Enneagram Journey
The Enneagram is “a powerful ancient tool for learning more about your motivations, increasing awareness of the workings of your personality, and discovering ways to enhance balance and wholeness in your life.” The Enneagram is not just another personality test, it’s a whole new way of looking at your relationships and yourself.
In this introductory class, led by Rev. Cathy Sweeney and Meredith McBride, you will learn useful information about the 9 personality types, and how they interact with each other. For more information, visit our Enneagram Journey page or contact Cathy Sweeney.

We all need a plan for our money. Financial Peace University (FPU) is that plan! It teaches God’s ways of handling money. Through video teaching, class discussions, and interactive small group activities, FPU presents biblical, practical steps to get from where you are to where you’ve dreamed you could be. This plan will show you how to get rid of debt, manage your money, spend and save wisely, and much more!
FPU is a biblically-based accountability curriculum that teaches how to make the right decisions about your money. It’s a 9-week video series designed to get you out of debt and stay out of debt. During the 9 weeks, the average participant reduces their debt by $5,300 and saves $2,700. More importantly, FPU helps free you from the burdens of finances and empowers you to do great things with your money!

Starting Point
If you are new to the congregation, we highly recommend attending a Starting Point class held on the second Sunday of each month. During this session, you will learn about our church, what we are passionate about, and how you can get involved. It’s a great time to ask those “I don’t understand…” questions. It’s also a wonderful time to meet new people in our community. For more information regarding Starting Point, please contact Cathy Sweeney.
