Grow in Extraordinary ways with Grow Classes!
Grow Ministry at Suntree
At Suntree, our vision is to love God, love each other, and love our neighbors in extraordinary ways – and we live into this vision with our five mission essentials: Worship, Connect/Care, Grow, Serve, and Give. We believe that every person can grow in their journey of discipleship with Jesus by engaging in these five spiritual disciplines. Therefore, we have Grow Ministry!
The purpose of Grow Ministry is to help you GROW in your walk with Jesus. Each semester, we offer a wide range of classes that are designed to help you take the next step in your walk of faith. Whether you are exploring the basic teachings of the Christian faith, wrestling with deep questions, or seeking to live out your faith in everyday life, you are welcome here.
At Suntree, we understand that spiritual growth is a lifelong process. John Wesley called it “going on to perfection.” We believe that God’s grace is always at work, helping us to grow from ordinary to extraordinary in our love for God and neighbor.

Bible Study: The Will of God | 9:30am | Room 101/102 | Cathrine Larrea | We all want to do the Will of God, but how can we be sure of this in our daily lives? This class will look at the Three Wills of God and search scripture for the answers.

MomCo | 9:30am | Room 103/104 | Jenny Murdock | MomCo was founded in 1973 when seven women invited moms to meet regularly to grow together as women, parents, and leaders with the goal of reaching women with the hope of Jesus.

Atlas of the Heart | 9:30am | Room 108 | Pastor Bailey | What if understanding your emotions could transform the way you live, love, and connect? In Atlas of the Heart, Brené Brown maps out the language of human emotion with vulnerability, wisdom, and clarity. This women’s study invites us to explore the 87 emotions and experiences that shape our lives—and learn how to name them, navigate them, and grow through them. Together, we’ll deepen our emotional literacy, build meaningful connections, and discover greater courage in the stories we live and share. Come join the journey toward wholehearted living. Please purchase a copy of Altas of the Heart by Brené Brown for this study.
