CONNECT GROUPS
There is a place for you here!
We know that “becoming more like Jesus” is not fully possible when we are alone. It takes a loving community that sharpens one another and builds each other up! We aim to grow in maturity, love for God, knowledge, experience, and love for one another. Find which group fits you best today!

ABOUT: TWP is a local ministry which began in 2022. We enter into the Presence of the Lord in order to bless Him, and to see His Will come to pass in our lives. As we yield to Him, He changes us more and more into the image of Jesus! This happens through Holy Spirit-led Worship, Prayer, personal testimonies, Scripture reading and exposition and as we soak in God’s Love. We also observe some of the Jewish Feasts which all point to the Christ! Unbelievers hear the Gospel and sense the warm embrace of the Family of God. New Christians receive encouragement to Trust the Bible for all of life’s issues. Mature Saints are equipped and trained to fight the good fight of faith. Everyone leaves with a greater understanding of who they are in Christ.
