Church Life
Small Groups
Mosaic's small groups are at the heart of what we do as a church. They are the foremost place in which relationships are built and in which people connect with God through prayer, worship, service, generosity, and Bible study. People often find that they discover some of their passions and abilities in the midst of meeting with and working with their small groups.
They meet throughout the week at various locations. For details, check our small groups section.
MosaicKids!
Mosaic Kids is committed to creating relevant programs for children of all ages to get know Jesus and themselves, as well as develop healthy relationships with others. Our hope is that our children will embark on a journey of faith during their time with us, and we do this by providing a safe space for them to experience and learn about God in fun and engaging ways. Our volunteers are dedicated to making sure that church becomes a highlight of the week for the children who are involved.
The Blaze Youth Group
Open to students in grades 4 - 8, The Blaze meets on Sunday mornings and the second Friday of every month.
At the after school club on the second Friday of every month, food, games, movies, and more from will be shared from 6pm - 8pm. For more information, contact Jamie. For dates, please see our calendar below.
Javaflix
Javaflix is a movie discussion group that meets to watch a movie and then talk about it. We meet on the second Saturday of every month.
Classes & Discussion Groups
We host a number of classes that are designed to help people explore and grow in faith. Check the Upcoming Events calendar
Prayer & Meditation
We believe that prayer is a powerful way to connect with Jesus. That's why you'll find Mosaic offers many opportunities to pray for others, with others, and on your own.
Morning Prayer
Join us on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00AM for Morning Prayer.
Morning Prayer is the first prayer of the day in the Liturgy of the Hours, which is a series of prayers in Christian monasticism intended to mark each passing hour with prayer.
The service lasts about twenty minutes. And while childcare is not provided, children are certainly welcome.
