Groups

We have 3 types of groups

AFFINITY GROUPS

These are groups that gather around a common interest, stage of life, or gender. These groups gather together on a regular basis and the activity or interest can vary from financial planning to weight lifting to studying the Bible.

LIFE GROUPS

These are  groups of three or more people who gather together on a regular basis. You’ll connect, study the Bible, and pray together.

CARE GROUPS

These are groups that offer support and connection especially in the most difficult seasons of life. There are groups for recovery, grief, mental health and for healing from trauma.  Compassionate and trained leaders bring their own life experiences and hope to these groups.

To join a group, use our group finder or scroll down and browse all groups.
