life is better in groups

At YpsiFree we believe God created us for community—we are meant to live in relationship with Jesus and with each other. One of the best sources of meaningful community is to gather in small groups. In these groups, we open ourselves to becoming deeply-formed people who love God, love all people, and follow Jesus together.
 
 
 
 
New Groups start each September, January, and April.

Book of John

Liturgies of Restoration
In the beginning, the Lord created the world and called it good. Many of us see that goodness and beauty in the natural world and in them worship the Creator. We face an environmental crisis. Often the responses to this crisis are binary: either we put our trust in the idol of Man’s ingenuity OR we wave away the concerns of this world with an eye towards heaven. This 5 week study focuses on what it means to have a passion for the work of serving, protecting, and restoring God’s earth.

Practicing the Way of Jesus
Join Steve and Cathy Glei for a small group study called Practicing the Way of Jesus. We will be reading about the life of Jesus and get a better of understanding of how Jesus’ life makes a difference in how we live, work and have our being. Participants need to bring a Bible and journal. We will be meeting from 4-6 p.m. on the first, second and third Sundays of the month, with a Friday night meal at a local restaurant the fourth week. The group begins Sunday, February 6th. Join us on this journey of patterning our lives after the model Jesus led for believers.
