Life Groups

Grow spiritually and do life together!

What are Life Groups?

Life Groups provide a welcoming and relaxed environment where small groups of people can connect, build friendships, and grow in their faith together. In these groups we learn to apply Biblical principles to everyday life, share in prayer, support one another, and serve the community as a team. This is a wonderful opportunity to take your next step in your walk with Christ in a supportive small group setting. Life Group meeting times vary by group, so be sure to check out our current groups below!
