Our Life Groups are designed to create the same kind of Biblical community that changes lives!
Life change happens in community. When we open God’s Word together, share our lives with one another, and walk through life’s up’s and down’s in community, we become more like Jesus. These bible studies, small groups, and ministries are designed to help you connect in meaningful relationships and grow in your walk with Jesus.
