don’t spend your WINTER alonE.

 
 
 

SO WHAT ARE SMALL GROUPS?

Here at The Project, we firmly believe that we are made for community. However, finding people to do life with can be easier said than done. It may be daunting to join a small group or meet new people, but you never know what can happen in your life when you take a chance.

Our hope is to provide you with life-giving opportunities to meet other young adults while exploring and growing in your relationship with Jesus. 

At the end of the day, you need people and people need you.

WINTER CONNECTING POINT IS JANUARY 21.

Gender: Guys

  • Ever found yourself pondering how to handle a tense situation without resorting to violence? The typical response often leans towards "I'd throw a punch if push comes to shove." However, from my experience training both in the military and the civilian world, I've discovered that striking may not always be the most effective method for self-defense or neutralizing a threat.

    That's where the art of grappling comes into play.

    Embark on a journey with us to understand the principles of grappling, a skill every protector should possess. Whether you're intrigued by self-defense, eager to learn how to protect yourself without resorting to punches, or just seeking a phenomenal workout, we've got you covered!

    Join us and discover a whole new level of self-defense that goes beyond the expected. It's not just about staying safe; it's about mastering the art of protection through the unique lens of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

    Our class will be instructed by Jared McComb, the former Unified MMA Light heavyweight champion and Black belt in BJJ at Frontline Jiu-jitsu.
