Weekly growth for kids & Adults
Check out Upcoming Events for additional opportunities.
Good News Circles - 2nd & 4th Tuesdays @ 6PM | Vertical Coffee
Good News Circles are simple, low-commitment gatherings where we meet at Vertical Coffee, break into small groups, and talk through Sunday’s message with guided reflection questions. These circles are a chance to slow down, connect with others, and let the Good News shape our everyday lives.
K-12 Student Discipleship - Every 3rd Wednesday @ 6PM | Mustard Seed Ranch
On Student Discipleship Nights, kids and teens grow in their faith through age-appropriate ministry designed just for them. Elementary students gather for fun, interactive discipleship that helps God’s Word come alive, while Middle and High school students meet separately to dig deeper into Scripture, identity, and what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.
Adult Discipleship - Every 3rd Wednesday @6PM | Mustard Seed Ranch
While kids and students gather for their own discipleship nights, adults meet together across the street for teaching, discussion, and encouragement in faith. This group is designed to help you grow deeper in God’s Word, strengthen your walk with Jesus, and build meaningful community with others.
This is how we grow.

This Month’s Guide
November Faith Focus: Gratitude
This month’s guide focuses on gratitude. Use it on your own, with your family, or in your group as a way to stay rooted in Christ and share His harvest with the world.
OUR HEART FOR FAMILIES
At Good News Co., we believe discipleship begins at home. Research shows the single most important influence on a child’s faith is the faith of their parents. That’s why we see parents as the primary disciplers of their children, and our role as a church is to walk alongside you - equipping, encouraging, and resourcing you for that sacred calling.
We embrace an intergenerational approach to ministry because children grow best when they are woven into the life of the whole church family. Studies show that kids who regularly worship with adults are more likely to continue in their faith as they grow older . When they see worship modeled, they don’t just learn about faith, they experience it in action.
