WOMEN'S evening
"HER STORY"It can be hard to really get to know people at church, but we think "Her Story" is one of the best ways. Join Amber Brandt, Von Veenstra and Hanna Brennan in The Studio at Keystone for this dynamic, larger gathering of women. Each week a woman from Keystone will share snapshots of her life with us—the highs, lows, and in-betweens—and how she experienced Jesus amidst it all. After afterwards, we'll have a short time of connecting at tables. We meet the third Thursday of each month, September through April. Many women will also join small groups that will meet during the off weeks.

the marriage course
Ready to invest in and strengthen your relationship? Connect with Hanna and Drew Brennan to join one of several groups going through this course. Whether you're newly married, in a committed relationship, been married 20 years, or somewhere in between, this seven-week course is incredibly practical and encouraging. We focus on strengthening our communication, resolving conflict, and forgiveness, just to name a few! Don't worry, you won't be discussing the details of your marriage with the group, only with each other. CLICK HERE for a quick overview. New groups starting in January.

starting point
Exploring faith should involve asking questions. When it comes to exploring faith, it’s natural to have questions. Unfortunately, church is sometimes the last place you want to bring those questions. We’d like to change that. If you'd like to know more about this curriculum click here.
