- Authentic Relationships
- Meaningful Conversations
- Changed Lives

“I liked the Ā intimacy of the group; an opportunity to bond with others; thought provoking, camaraderie; and good fellowship times. Ā Learning in a casual environment and building Ā a faith community of believers. An excellent way to be part of a small group.ā Ā

Like a blackberry bush, nature’s “barbed wire,” we are surrounded by expectations and demands on our lives that can choke out the freedom and joy God has in store for us. In the Blackberry Bush Course, we will learn how God frees us through Jesus, and how the Holy Spirit makes it possible for us to receive what God has in store for us in our purpose in His plan.
