Tower Hill groups are designed to help you find your people in your stage of life and grow deeper in your faith. Our bible studies help you to find ways to fit more God in your busy lifestyle and to help you meet other Christians. Our fellowship and dinner groups are a way to get together with other like-minded Tower Hill folks for some fun! Our one day groups launch into specific areas of interest in a tighter time frame. Find a group (or two!) that work for you! We've made it easy and arranged them by categories YOU fit into! We launch new groups 3 times a year – in the spring, fall and winter.


Leaders Heather Swihart and Jess Gilman | Starts 4/28 | *For Moms*

Laurie Short (who was the speaker at our women’s winter retreat last year) will guide us through a video series of 8 ways to see God's movement in your life—and with the help of key Bible passages and personal stories, you’ll find evidence that will inspire you to trust Him moving forward. You will look at doors that have opened and closed, how you ended up in different places than you planned, the difficulties you’ve endured and how those difficulties were used, and the unexpected people who were brought into your life. Through Bible passages, personal stories and reflective questions, you will be invited to look more closely at these things—and with Laurie’s help, you’ll be able to track God’s presence in your life. Tracking God in Your Life will enable you to: See the thread of God’s movement in your story, Track God’s presence in what’s happening now, Face confusing circumstances with more confidence, Encourage others with what these sessions reveal in your life. This group meets at Tower Hill’s Connect Center on Mondays, 11am with leaders Lori Marrone & Melissa Freidman. *For Women*

Leaders Natalie DeStefano & Monica Duque | Starts 5/1 | *For Women*
Living with Purpose When God Seems Absent. God is always at work in the background, even when he seems silent. This powerful truth is evident in the book of Esther—a story of God’s providence and the preservation of his people during their exile in Persia. In this series, Rev. Dr. Danielle Brown will help us see that despite moral corruption, national chaos, and the emotional turmoil of the main characters, God will never abandon his people and is positioning us for a purpose bigger than we can imagine. This group meets at Tower Hill’s Connect Center on Fridays at 10am with leaders Monica Duque and Natalie DeStefano. *For Women*

The Life and Thought of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) - German pastor, theologian, and peace activist. He wrote profoundly about Christian faith, community, grace, and ethics, centered on the question, ‘Who is Christ for us today?’ The unspeakable human suffering resulting from the atrocities of the Nazi regime compelled him into church resistance and, finally, political resistance through a conspiracy against the Nazi regime called Valkyrie. Imprisoned during the last two years of his life, Bonhoeffer was executed just weeks before the end of the war. Come and learn more about this compelling Christian. Two Wednesdays April 15 and April 22, 11 am Connect Center OR 7pm Zoom.

Leaders Beth & John Richey | Starts 5/8 | *For Everyone*
The world teaches us to revolve our actions, thoughts, and beliefs around ourselves. “It’s all about you!” we are encouraged to think. In the world’s philosophy, we become the author and hero of our story. But the Bible teaches a different view, one where another hero—the actual Author of life—takes center stage. In the book of Job, God asserts his preeminence and displays his power. This study by Francis Chan will explore the overriding truth that we exist not for ourselves but to glorify the God who deserves all worship and praise. This group, led by Beth & John Richey, will meet on Friday nights, 7:30-9, for 4 weeks starting 5/8 in Tower Hill’s Connect Center.

People should sign up for small group beause you can't lose. You meet new people at church, you find time with the Lord and it's a recharge for the week. Plus, you get a whole new set of friends that will help you grow.
~ Meg

I found my friends in a small group and now my kids have grown up with their kids. It was like having another batch of moms at my disposal, and truthfully it’s been a great growing experience for our entire family
~ Lauren

Because of my small group I can now walk through life knowing I have more than 20 brothers in Christ to call upon in my time of need…or success. In those small group settings you’ll figure things about yourself that may surprise you.
~ Chris

My small group helped me many times through the years especially after I experienced loss. They were there for me, they prayed for me, and they were just like sisters. If you are hesitant to sign up, my advice is to give it a try.
