As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
We believe that Small Groups are instrumental to the spiritual growth and maturity of every believer. Small Groups help people get to know the God of the Word, build deeper relationships with other believers and fulfill one of God's purposes for the church. Fellowship is more than a hand shake on Sunday morning. Fellowship is deep and sincere, non-superficial connection! Therefore, every person in our church is strongly encouraged to join a Small Group.
If you have any questions, please contact our Office Manager, Jennifer Perez, at jennifer@throggsneckcommunitychurch.com.

* Small Group will not meet on 2/20*
For every generation, God has given His people new tools to spread the gospel—from the invention of writing and scrolls, to the Roman roads Paul traveled, to the printing press that fueled the Reformation, to radio and television that carried preaching around the world. Today, we stand in a new moment: the age of Artificial Intelligence.
The Gospel in the Age of AI is a 10-week, hands-on discipleship course designed to help believers understand AI through a biblical worldview and use it wisely for ministry. Together we will explore how the church has always embraced technology for God’s glory, and how we can do the same with AI—responsibly, ethically, and led by the Holy Spirit.
Participants will also learn practical skills for creating devotionals, Bible studies, evangelism content, teaching tools, and social media outreach using an AI apps. Each week includes reflection on Scripture, historical examples of Christian innovation, and a SWOT-style analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) so we can discern how to use AI without being shaped by it.
*Participants must bring a laptop, iPad, or similar device*

In this six-session video Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Louie Giglio unpacks Psalm 23 to offer insight into how to overcome the enemy's lies and find peace and spiritual security in any circumstance or situation.
We’ve all been in circumstances that cause our minds to spin with thoughts that are unproductive, destructive, and harmful. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder why we keep falling into the same thought patterns. We need to recognize these thoughts are not from God, but from an enemy lurking who wants to seize every opportunity to lie his way into our minds.
Rooted in the timeless truth of Psalm 23, the Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table video study offers biblical guidance on how to:
• Cancel the lies that will wreck your life and take the empowering steps to live fully alive in Christ
• Restore peace and rest in your life by taking authority over your thoughts
• Break free from the endless cycle of destructive thinking and recapture your emotions
• Embrace the true purpose behind your journey through challenging circumstances
You can find freedom from the battles in your mind if you allow Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to lead the battle. Learn how to find encouragement, hope, and strength no matter what valleys you face.

In this six-session series, author and Bible teacher Lisa Harper unpacks the value and importance of the Bible for everyday believers. In this series, we will learn about what the Bible is, how God communicates with us through it, and why we should read it
