TRC Pella



    Groups at Third Church are modeled after the early church. The Apostles teach us that in community, the early church truly lived life together in ways that exhibited spiritual growth, encouragement, rooted relationships, unity, gratitude, prayer, service, grace, generosity and authenticity. This ministry sets out to get people out of rows and into circles while focusing on these ten essentials. With a Group of 6-12 people meeting regularly, we see members grow in the 10 essentials and in their relationships with others and Jesus. Check out the listing below for groups ready to launch. Want to start a group? Contact Jenny Hesseltine for more information.

    Childcare is always available by group or on an individual basis, as we never want lack of childcare to be an obstacle for participation. Talk with your GROUP leader about how this works or contact Jenny Hesseltine.

    Sermon Series Groups

    Short-term, sermon series groups provide an opportunity to dig deeper into the sermon topics in community. The Sanctuary teaching is called Searching for Contentment: How Holy Habits Build the Kingdom Within and begins on Sunday, April 30 with groups launching that following week. The Auditorium teaching is The Strength You Need and begins on Sunday, May 7 with groups launching the week following. Childcare is always available--ask your leader how! Your group leader(s) will contact you prior to the start of the group with further details.
    Contact Jenny Hesseltine, Director of Community, for more info or to lead.

    Crazy Busy: striking a well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing everything.

    FOR: "I'm too busy." We've all heard it, we've all said it. Sometimes being busy seems like the theme of our lives. For those who could be convicted of a "busyness as usual" mindset, we'll dissect the weekly message, while also trying to develop a better way forward by striking a mature and well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing everything. If you think you're "too busy," this group is for you!
