Small Groups

A place to belong, grow and serve.
A Small Group is an intentional gathering of people that meet with regularity for the purpose of  exploring and growing a deeper faith and/or providing support to one another.  

Small groups are available most days of the week at various times of the day; mostly in the evening.  Groups meet either weekly, twice per month or monthly at various locations from September through May. There are a limited number of small group opportunities in the summer months.
​To explore short- term small group opportunities see our Connect Page for current listings.

​If you are interested in learning more or joining a small group or have a desire to start up a new group please contact our Relational Ministries Director:
