Community Groups
Community Groups bring people together as they journey through similar stages of life or connect through like interests. Through our Community Groups, you’ll have the opportunity to connect relationally and grow spiritually as you experience life in community.
WOMEN’S group
We weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone. Women especially flourish when we grow together, encourage one another, and sharpen one another. We'll gather together on Tuesday evenings as one large group before moving into smaller table communities for meaningful discussion, prayer, and learning. Tuesdays, Jan 20-March 3, 6:30-8pm. Join at any time!
MEN’S group
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone, but for men there can be a natural habit of going at it alone. We want to change that! Through building connection with other guys, studying Scripture, having meaningful conversations, and throwing in some laughter, we can journey together toward Jesus. Join us on Thursdays from 6:30-8pm, starting January 22, in Room 216. It’s an open group—no registration needed, and you can join in at any time.
MOM’S group
Moms Group is here to help you discover Christ-centered hope, deep connection, and genuine friendship along the way. Whether you’ve just had your first baby or you’re navigating teenagers, we’ve got a place for you!Tuesdays, 9:30-11:30am: Jan 27-Mar 24 & April 14-May 5.
