SMALL GROUPS
Growth Groups are Gospel-centered meetings where people grow in their knowledge of the Word and how it applies to their lives. Each Growth Group may vary in content and structure but all with the same goal: equipping us to be disciples who make disciples.
Growth groups are the best way to surround yourself with other Christ followers as you learn to be a disciple-making disciple. Each group has a central focus on deepening your knowledge and application of the Word. Many of our groups meet on Sunday mornings as well as several throughout the week.
If you are interested in connecting with a Growth Group, email for more information.
