Community Life Group Kickstart
Have you ever wondered whether leading or hosting a Community Life Group could be something you do? Maybe you’ve noticed a gap in our church and felt a tug to help fill it. That gap might look like a group for dads of young kids, a welcoming space for people who are new to following Jesus, a group for empty nesters finding community in a new season, or something else God is placing on your heart.
Leading a group doesn’t have to be intimidating. It can be simple, and it can be life-giving.
This Kickstart is for anyone who has ever wondered whether leading a group could be for them, or who simply longs to help people find their place at CCO.

This month we are in the series, Find Your Way! 
Life can feel confusing. We hit moments where we're not sure which way to go, what decision to make, or how to figure things out. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a map that could guide us through life—not just for directions, but for making choices, living life, and knowing God better? If you've ever been there, good news! The Bible is more than an old book—it's a map that helps us find our way. In this 4-week series from the book of Matthew, we'll discover how the Bible helps us see things differently, shows us how to be like Jesus, reveals what God is like, and teaches us what is true.
Bring a friend and join us as we worship, read God's Word, and build relationships with one another!  

There will be NO CSM on November 25th - We hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

You’re Not Alone
Sometimes life brings seasons that can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone.

A trained Stephen Minister from CCO will walk alongside you with a listening ear, encouragement, prayer, and compassionate support.
