Community GROUPS


FOLLOWING JESUS TOGETHER


If you want to become the person and do the things God wants you to do, you need to have intentional relationships with people who have the same goal and who want the same for you—and a Community Group is a great place for that to happen. In a Community Group, eight to twelve adults meet regularly to help each other love God, love people, and make disciples. You'll do this as you discover and apply God's truth from the Bible to your lives together. In a Community Group, you're both known and grown in the context of community. So which Community Group is right for you?

We’ll come not with perfect answers, but with open hearts - ready to support, encourage and lift each other up through highs and lows.
