Small Groups.

Community isn’t just found, it is CREATED.

In times of need and times of fun, groups are your source of friendship and support.

Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others, and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
