WELCOME TO THE SMALL GROUPS INFORMATION PAGE
Our Small Groups are committed to being:
- Intentional – meeting together at least once a month for Home Study Groups and a number of times seasonally for all other groups.
- Relational – a place where you can connect and share life with a group of 8-12 people if all singles only and/or 12-14 if couples* only.
- Transformational – grow in your relationship with God and others through fellowship, sharing, scripture, application, prayer/serving.
(*Couples are counted as one member in a group. Groups may include a mix of singles and couples without exceeding max group limits.)
Groups KICK-OFF in the Fall and last for 10 weeks:
(Members may attend groups three (3) times a year with two (2) short breaks and summers off.)
