FIND YOUR PEOPLE. GROW YOUR FAITH.
Why Small Groups?
We believe that the Christian Faith is best expressed in the context of a community of other believers.
While our worship services are a great place to express, together, our devotion to Jesus, a small group of believers can be a more appropriate place to share doubts and struggles, be encouraged, ask questions, and experience life together.
No two small groups are the same. Some focus on study, others on support, some gather around a specific ministry or affinity, and still others are a mix of all those elements.
FIND A GROUP BY AGE/STAGE:

Groups for all ages
HOW WE CATEGORIZE OUR GROUPS:
Community
Equal parts social & bible study.
Study
Focuses primarily on bible or book study.
Affinity
Focuses on a particular activity or hobby shared by group members.

Young Families Group
The Young Families Group is loosely organized around monthly social events. This is a great place for new families to get connected with no commitment to a regular meeting/study. Visit our Facebook Page to get connected.
