This group is a place to join other believers as we explore New Covenant teachings through The Cure (authored by John Lynch, Bruce McNicol, & Bill Thrall) as a springboard for meaningful discussion and authentic connection. Our aim is to create a safe, grace-filled space where everyone can come as they are. As we journey together, we hope to grow in both faith and friendship, rooted in the truth of our identity in Christ. Once we finish the book, we plan to continue meeting and exploring life together through other thoughtful resources—whether it’s a book, sermon, podcast, Scripture, or simply sharing life over coffee. Wherever you are in your walk, you are welcome.
