Come meet our new pastor ... Rev. Paige Pritchard and her husband Joe are getting acquainted with Hapeville.

Every Sunday

Community Bible Study

Designed for forward-thinkers.

What to Expect:  The group meets every Sunday morning from 10:00-10:30. Included will be coffee, tea, snacks, community time, and of course, the study.

The study usually starts with a professionally produced “short film”that serves as the springboard for discussion.  We think it is an invigorating time together. Try us out!
