Life Transformation Groups
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once and a while, you might miss it." Ferris Bueller
"Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24 & 25 MSG.
We want to provide a safe place where we can do life together for the sake of spiritual progress. Our desire to equip Disciples who are making Disciples (Matt. 28:18-20) comes from the belief that every Disciple has healthy "DNA". We all must have balanced in our spiritual lives: D-Divine Truth, N-Nurturing Relationships & A-Apostolic Mission This means getting together 3-4 times a month to build authentic relationships where we open God's Word, pray together, laugh together, cry together and cheer each other on in accomplishing the mission God has for each of us!

Women's Bible Study at the Cherry House Café
Join us each Wednesday morning at 10am as we consider the topic of growing into emotionally healthy spiritual women of God. We will be studying a book entitled, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality written by Peter and Geri Scazzero. This 10 week series promises to unleash a revolution in your life in Christ. Interweaving emotional health and contemplative spirituality, this study will transform the hidden places deep beneath the surface of our lives. We will gather around a cup of coffee and delve into this study that will take us beyond our brokenness, weakness, and failures into a spiritual life without limits.
When we ignore the emotional components of our lives, we move through the Christian disciplines, activities, and behaviors, but deeply rooted behaviors from our past continue to keep us from living an authentic life of maturity in Christ. (Scanzoni)
The Cherry House Café in Beavercreek offers us a quiet moment to gather and discuss this book. Newly opened at 1241 Meadow Bridge Drive (behind the Kroger being constructed in Beavercreek), the Café offers us a cozy place to gather and get to know one another while fellowshipping around the Word of God. Here is a sample of some of the topics we will be addressing:
- Know Yourself that you may know God
- Go Back in order to Go Forward
- Journey Through the Wall
- Grow into an Emotionally Mature Adult
