Growth Groups

Growing Deeper in Faith and Relationship

What Should I Expect?

The goal of joining a Growth Group is to grow in your walk with Jesus around people that can support you in taking your next steps. We believe life is better when you live in community. Growth Groups meet in homes and other locations for Bible study and fellowship. We want to help you find the best fit.
