HOW TO GET CONNECTED
We have an incredible staff who are not only passionate about connecting you to a Sunday School Class or Small Group but who are very knowledgeable about each group.
Our goal is to help you find the best class or group for you as soon as possible. We have found the best way to do this is for our staff team to hear from you about your season in life, needs and desires, preferences, and availability and help make the best recommendations.
Available Small Groups
Small Groups
A small group is a group that consists of 3-15 people that meet on a consistent basis. Each group differs, but in general these groups will share life together, spend time in scripture and/or a curriculum, encourage one another, serve together, and help each other connect to Jesus and commit to His way. Some of these meet in homes and some meet at the church, including Sunday morning and Wednesday nights. Some have a leader and facilitator, while others share the load. Some groups will meet consistently throughout the year, while others may take breaks at different seasons.
