WANT TO JOIN A LIFE GROUP?

Our Life Groups are designed to help people grow in their faith. They gather together to study the Bible, have good conversation, and serve our community. We have Stage of Life groups as well as men's and women's groups available. These groups meet during the Spring and Fall semesters for 8-10 weeks.

Fall Life Groups are wrapping up and Spring Life Groups will launch in February. Below is a list of the groups that were offered in the Fall.

  • These groups are for people who want to become stronger and more rooted in their faith. We will study the foundations of what it means to follow Jesus.
