Group Life's main focus is to help
connect you to other individuals and
couples who have the same desires
and passions in life as you do. We
want to develop meaningful
relationships that will help challenge
one another to grow in their faith.
Wellspring's Home Groups are the
main way that we do just that.
Group Life's Home Groups are great
opportunities to interact with three to four other couples or individuals from Wellspring and share in the many experiences of life together. These small groups meet once or twice a month and are lead by specially trained small group leaders. Our Home Groups are incredible opportunities where you can develop meaningful, long-lasting relationships and grow together in your faith.
There are times in life where you're just
not sure where to go next. Sometimes
we need guidance from other individuals
who are on the other side of whatever it
is we're going through. So at Wellspring,
we offer several mentoring groups to
help guide us through life.
In Group Life's Mentor Groups, you will
join with other individuals and meet with
a mentor once a week, or once every
other week, and discuss Biblical truths that apply directly to your life. Mentor groups are a great opportunity to learn from the life experiences of other men and women and to find direction in your life.
Four Couples getting together once a month at each couple's home. This will be a great chance to meet people within the Wellspring family.
If you have any questions and would like to join a group contact Jason Van Assen at vanassen_gmail.com.

Wednesday nights from 7-9 starting March 2 for 12 weeks.
In Stop the Madness we are going to combine several approaches with the goal of ending our
addiction and compulsions. Addictions come in all shapes and sizes. Our “drug of choice”
might be anything: spending, alcohol, drugs, pornography, affairs, food, people, jobs, even
Christian service. They touch that part of our heart created for deep communion with God,
offering enjoyment, relief from pain, or fulfillment, but they come with chains of bondage. These
counterfeit lovers grab our hearts, demanding more and more, but never quench our deepest
thirsts. If you want freedom from some “addiction”, this is for you!

The evangelism class at Wellspring is part of
the variety of classes that we offer to help you
grow stronger in your faith. This class meets
on Wednesday nights at the church, and is a
great way for you to learn how to share your
faith effectively with others.
In this class, you will learn the Way Of The
Master evangelism strategy developed by Ray
Comfort and Kirk Camron. This strategy is a
powerful tool that you can use in sharing your
faith. After you've learned the fundamentals of
the Way of the Master evangelism strategy, you'll be given opportunities to go out into the community and share your faith with others.
We know that things are difficult in this
economy, and that money is tighter than
ever. To help families struggling with
their finances, Wellspring wants to offer
you a class that will help you be free of
the financial pressure that is so common
in these tough economic times. Financial
Freedom is one of the small group classes
that meets on Wednesday nights at
Wellspring designed to meet this need.
Financial Freedom is for anyone who feels overwhelmed in their finances, or would just like to know more about a Christian perspective on money. In this class, you will learn about the Biblical truths of stewardship, money management, and dept relief, and how you can be free from the stress and struggles that far too often come with personal finances.
What is Truth? Is it something that's only relative to each individual, or is there more? The Truth Project is a DVD-based curriculum of 12 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This study is a great starting point for beginning to look at life from a biblical perspective. It will challenge you to further your knowledge of what Truth is and how to think critically about issues going on in the world. After all, truth is not a relative term, but one grounded in God's principles.
Wednesday nights from 7-9 starting March 2 for 8-10 weeks.
In this 10 week class we plan to cover spending, saving, tithing, giving, budgeting, debt, relating
with money, and many more topics! We will provide guidance to those overwhelmed in their
finances or would just like to know more about a Christian perspective on money. We will
use resources including videos, questions, testimonies, charts, surveys, and private meetings if
requested (1 on 1 or 2 on 2).

None of us got married with the hope of heartbreaks, shattered dreams, and divorce court.
Sure, lots of people end up in divorce, but this was never supposed to happen in our life, in our
marriage! It’s no exaggeration to refer to divorce as a “death.” When two people are joined
in marriage, they become one, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Divorce rips apart that
fabric of two people that have become one. Both people are deeply hurt, and that hurt extends
beyond the couple to friends, to family, especially to our children, and even to a struggling
culture that looks desperately for stability, permanence, and relational models. Divorce is truly
the death of a dream—a death of what could have and should have been. Recovering from
Divorce will walk you through the experiences, feelings, and struggles that are common to
divorce:

Wednesday nights from 7-9 starting March 2 for 10 weeks
Focus: We will practice vocabulary, sentence structure, pronunciation and everyday Spanish.
In addition we will begin to work on conjugation of present and past tense verbs. Those that
took the last class can keep the same book, as we didn't get through it all. Any new members
can purchase, "Easy Spanish- Step by Step" by Barbara Bregstein. It is currently down to about
$7.00 on Amazon.com. Also, the class is formulated to fit the "skill" level of the members. How
much they know/learn will dictate how fast we move along.
