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?



Over the summer, many of our regular community groups take a break to gear up for the fall. Below are our SUMMER 2024 Community groups.

      ICWOMEN

      BEGINNING JUNE 12 // 10 AM - 12 PM

      IMMANUEL CHURCH, GURNEE

      Do you ever feel frustrated by what you're missing, yet burdened by what you have? Are you drowning in stuff, while strangely desiring more? Have you already discovered that better boxes and systems can't fix problems that start in the heart?Culture's devotion to bigger, better, and more promises happiness but kindles debt, discouragement, and discontent. Jesus offers a better way! In Bigger Barns: Living Content in a Material World you’ll learn practical truth from God's Word to help you separate the precious from the worthless—in your life and, yes, in your closets and basement—so you can focus your time and energy on what truly matters.
