In addition to Sunday morning worship, Hebron offers Growth Group. Growth Groups are an opportunity for people to meet with others in a relaxed setting that are made up of 6 to 12 people. These groups are a place where we can study the Bible, grow in faith, encourage one another to grow in our love and knowledge of God, share joys and concerns and see how God transforms us through the study of the Bible and through the shared life of others.

Sunday Morning— “Flourishing – Lessons from the Olive Tree”
Together, we are going to discover the beauty, grace, strength and importance of the olive tree and its relevance in our lives.

2nd Monday of the month—Esther Circle— “None Like Him”
This study will help you become a “God Fearing Woman” as you study the attributes that belong only to God. When we lose sight of His majesty, we begin to give awe and reverence to ourselves, things or others. Not only is it unwise to give worship to someone else or ourselves, that is the very definition of foolishness. Join us once a month as we learn, fellowship and care for one another.

- Leaders: Carol Riser, Sarah Shorthouse
Tuesday Afternoon Coffee— “Living in the DAZE of Deception”
Living in the Daze of Deception is a book by Jack Hibbs that will help us discern truth from cultural lies.

Tuesday Evening— “Forgiven Rebels”—Books of I & II Peter

As we study these books, we will learn how to be strong, focus on God’s Word and His promises and act on what He calls us to do!

We will revisit selected life-changing encounters with Jesus in the New Testament, hoping to discover more about the big questions of life for ourselves and to share with others.
