Group Formation Season
Community Groups are small groups of adults that meet weekly in homes for 12-24 months for connection and spiritual growth.

Finding great community doesn’t have to be hard. We’ve made it easy by offering groups where you can meet new friends and grow in your faith.
Join a group and experience for yourself why we say life is better connected.
