Greenhouses: Small Groups for Winter 2019

Artisan’s small groups, called Greenhouses, are a place where Artisans can grow together toward authentic faith, practicing Artisan’s values in a smaller context. Greenhouses are for people who are looking to deepen their connection with God and each other.
Each week, groups will delve into Deep waters together through scripture, prayer, and service.

Groups will meet weekly through the week of February 24th.

Sunday Worship at Baber AME Church

We return to Baber African Methodist Episcopal Church (550 Meigs Street) for an inspiring joint worship experience on a momentous day! Children’s programing during the service! If you are able, please park on a nearby side street rather than in the lot. Note that Baber has just one service at 10am. (No services held at the Artisan building on this date.)
There will be a luncheon following the service. Baber will provide lunch and Artisans are in charge of desserts. Sign up here to bring a dessert to share.
