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 through bible study, providing support/prayer to one another and serving together.
​

Small groups are available Sunday-Thursdays- mostly in the evenings.  Groups meet 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.
​We also offer short- term small group opportunities which are available for our churchwide study in Sept/Oct, for Lent and in May (Mental Health month). Please see our Connect Page for current short-term listings. 

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