EXPLICIT GOSPEL
Sunday Evenings
This group is currently going through Explicit Gospel by Matt Chandler. The Explicit Gospel brings to light the fact that going to church doesn’t mean that you are being exposed to the gospel. Most church folks talk about Jesus, and about being good and avoiding bad, but the gospel message isn’t there. The understanding that Jesus died in our place and wants a personal and living relationship with us that involves faith, surrender, repentance, and intimacy with God, is often missing. The book is inspired by the needs of church going people that may still be lost due to trusting in religion instead of Jesus.
Led by Rahsaan & Andrea Hill and Matt & Suzie Swenson
This group is currently at maximum amount for this semester. 
OUTSIDERS IN THE BIBLE
Every other Sunday Evening | Tom & Elaine Lacksonen's Home
Outsiders, foreigners, aliens, strangers, sojourners. How does God view these outsiders? Let's look at Biblical examples of outsiders and discuss applications for today.
Led by Tom & Elaine Lacksonen
This group is currently at maximum amount for this semester. 
SPIRITUAL MATURITY : A DEEPER WALK IN SCRIPTURE AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Sunday Afternoons | Jon Chara's Home
The Gospel calls us to grow in Christlikeness, but how? For college or older lay leaders or anyone wanting to know the scriptures, the Kingdom and themselves in a more spiritually mature way.
Led by Jon Chara
This group is currently at maximum amount for this semester. 
THE TENDERNESS OF JESUS
Sundays, Late Afternoon
The world is a broken place marred by evil, and the influence of evil impacts us all. It is often difficult for people to grasp what God is like in a world such as ours. Jesus shows us the heart of God in a world of heartache. He is the most beautiful, compelling, tender person who has lived. Join this LifeGroup as they go through The Tenderness of Jesus by Rob Reimer.
Led by Andy & Barb Krause
This group is currently at maximum amount for this semester.

WEDNESDAY 8 WEEK WOMEN'S GROUP
APPROACHING THE THRONE WITH CONFIDENCE
Wednesdays, 6:30pm - 8:00pm | Menomonie Alliance Fireside Room
You are invited to join a journey to connect with the Father by praying the Word of God. It's not a Bible study; it's not a prayer meeting but a blend of the Word and prayer. Sometimes we feel guilty that the Word seems dry and prayer seems intimidating. Praying God's Word is a way that many have found encouragement in their walk with the Father. Come when you can - even if it's only once. You are always welcome! Beginning January 15th, Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. for 8 weeks. Facilitated by Diana Madison, Marilyn Maves and Diana Stimmel.
Open to all women. Sign up appreciated but not required.
WEDNESDAY PRAYER MEETING
Wednesdays, 6:30pm - 8:00pm | Menomonie Alliance Prayer Room (Room 310)
Everyone is welcome to attend the weekly Wednesday prayer meeting. It is an informal, unstructured time of prayer from 6:30pm until approximately 8pm each week.
Open to all. No sign up necessary.
APPLIED APOLOGETICS 
1st & 3rd Thursday Evenings | At Menomonie Alliance
Applied Apologetics is a group committed to learning how to defend the foundational truths of our faith and exercising real-world scenarios to prepare ourselves for future engagements. We seek not only to know the truth but also to share it with others in a winsome and gentle way, always with the primary goal of leading them to Jesus Christ. Come and see!

Led by Dennis & Marilyn Maves
BIBLICAL IMMERSION
2nd & 4th Thursday Evenings | Ralph & Sharon Becker's Home
Biblical Immersion is a term that helps us to understand that there are multiple levels of understanding the Bible. Immersion brings with it the idea of praying and having a conversation with the Lord as His Spirit reveals the truths of the Bible to us. We discover that what may look like a simple historical story or cultural picture is actually a guide for us that contains principles and lessons far beyond what we read on the pages. The more we explore God’s Word the more we hear our Father’s voice through it as we grasp the realities of God and His Kingdom.
Led by Ralph & Sharon Becker

Led by Bryan & Carol Paur

MEN'S STUDY: HEBREWS
Fridays 5:30am - 7:00am | Fireside Room
