GROWTH GROUPS

LOVED PEOPLE DON’T DO LIFE ALONE

We were not created to be alone, but for fellowship with God and one another. Being a part of this community means encouraging each other to grow in our relationship with Jesus—through learning and serving together. We challenge you to invest yourself in others by getting involved in one of our Growth Groups.
 
These small groups for adults meet regularly in homes, at the church or online to discuss Sunday’s sermon or engage in a Bible study. They’re made up of people of different ages, backgrounds and life situations, united around the goal of loving people to life in Jesus Christ.
