At Rush Creek we are passionate about growing together in our knowledge and application of God’s Word! We offer some great opportunities to find and deepen friendships while studying the Bible together:

Community Groups meet on a weekly basis throughout the year and include opportunities such as Joint Heirs, The Branches, as well as Mens & Ladies Bible Studies.

Growth Groups are short term elective classes taught by our Pastors or guest speakers and cover a wide range of topics for 3 to 6 weeks at a time.
