Discipleship resources

Hi Friend! I am so glad that you stumbled across this page! If we haven't had the chance to meet, let me introduce myself. My name is Shaina Morrow and I am the Pastor of Worship and Discipleship here at Curtis Lake. My aim is to provide you with resources and connections that will help you grow in your faith. I truly believe that this cannot be done alone, or only through a screen. I want to encourage you to join us for church on Sundays, to join a small group and to find a place where you can serve. One thing I want you to know is that none of us is perfect, and neither is our church. That's why we think it's so important to journey together on this path of following Jesus. I'm so glad you've joined us.

  • Small Groups

    I cannot recommend small groups strongly enough. Did you know that Redwood Trees in California have roots that grow 8-10 feet deep and 50-60 feet wide? Like these towering trees, we must grow our roots down into the Word of God, but we must also allow for our lives to intertwine with those in the church where we find ourselves planted. Small groups are a great way to make this happen! We have a variety of groups- from Starting Point to GriefShare and affinity groups to classes- there truly is something for everyone.

  • RIGHT NOW MEDIA

    Another fantastic FREE resource that I strongly recommend is Right Now Media. This "Netflix of Bible Studies" as it has come to be called, is filled with incredible content. Some of my favorite things you can find on Right Now Media are Bible Project videos. If you don't have a Right Now Media account, simply click the photo to the left to request one!

  • Sermon Notes and questions to consider

    If you aren't in a small group, or are looking for a recap of the sermon and questions to help you process it, we will be updating the link below weekly with notes to help you grow in your faith! You can discuss these with friends, or use it as a personal growth tool!

book resources

Below are three books we as a staff are currently loving. 


If you are looking for a more advanced theological read, I recommend The Screwtape Letters. 

Looking for a guide to help you slow down and be present with friends, family, and your faith? The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry may be for you. Finally, for those looking to dive deeper into 1 Corinthians, I recommend The NIV Application Commentary.


To purchase any of these books, simply click on the photos below.

streaming resources

Love it or hate it, we live in a technology driven world. The good news is, that also means there are plenty of resources to help you grow in your faith that you can stream while driving, folding laundry, or even mowing the lawn! For me, creating Worship Music playlists on Spotify really helps me stay focused on Jesus throughout the week. I love having the music going while I'm working, driving or hanging out with my family. One of the streaming services that is on the rise right now is Podcasts! I am so excited that we recently launched our own podcast where Josh will be answering YOUR questions every week. To listen to a sample Worship Playlist or catch the latest Podcast Episode, click the photos below.
