As the Redwood Church continues to grow we believe it is important that we grow larger and smaller at the same time. We invite the entire community to discover God’s love and join with us in the celebration of His life. At the same time we want for everyone at this church to have an opportunity to develop deep relationships with a few others through our small group program.

Our small groups consist of 8-10 adults that meet for prayer, Bible study and fellowship. They provide an environment for people to deepen their relationships with God and each other. The groups meet on various nights throughout the week for 1-2 hours.

Some of the benefits of joining a small group are:

• Building relationships in God’s family
• Giving and receiving encouragement
• Experiencing God through prayer and Bible study
• Recognizing and developing personal spiritual gifts

For more information concerning the Small Group Ministry please contact Dennis Lynn.

Redwood Church is a growing community of believers. Every week there are families from our community who are with us for the first time. We are excited that people in our community are coming to share God’s Word and His love with us. We are committed to helping everyone develop daily in relationship with God and one another. One of the important ways we accomplish this task is through the C.L.A.S.S. Seminars.

C.L.A.S.S. 101 is designed specifically to give you a better understanding of Redwood Church.  In this class participants will learn what the church teaches, how it is organized and what it means to be a member of the church.

The Music Ministry role is to help our congregation experience the presence of God through song and praise. Through our worship times on Sunday mornings and during special events, the Music Ministry is a vital part of our life together where we as a family can express our praise through music.
