Community Groups

Travel Together on Your Spiritual Journey

Being in community with other Christ followers is vital to our spiritual growth, which is why we have Community Groups. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, we think it’s important to travel with others. Our dream is that group members will connect with each other, grow in their relationship with God, and lovingly serve the communities in which they live.

Find a Community Group

Community Groups are groups of 8-16 people who meet weekly, online or in homes, from September to May to engage in community while diving deeper into the Sunday messages. Typically, Community Groups meet for three 10-week sessions, with easy on and off-ramps.

We want Community Groups to be a place where people flourish, which is why the role of a life group leader is so important!
