GrowthGroups meet during the fall, winter and spring on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and provides a greater focus upon the study and application of the scriptures to daily life. There are groups focused upon in-depth Bible study as well as groups more topically focused, from the essential foundational doctrines of our faith to the biblical response for many contemporary issues. In every group there is always time given to prayer and fellowship as well.
Directions to each GrowthGroup can be obtained at the Welcome Center in the lobby, or you can download the new 2019 Fall brochure for more information. Upcoming studies begin September 11 and will run through December 18, 2019.
