LifeGroups

LifeGroups meet on Sunday mornings. There are a variety of groups that meet either at 9:00 a.m. or 10:30 a.m., and there is bound to be a group just right for you!

Whatever your life stage or circumstance, there’s a group here full of people who share your circumstances and goals. Single and career-oriented, to wrestling with pre-schoolers, to empty nesters and retirees, we have groups that know what you’re dealing with every day and they’ve found encouragement for life and spiritual nourishment in the fellowship that exists within our LifeGroups.

Schedule

We encourage everyone from Grade 3 up to adults to attend one of the worship services and also a LifeGroup. We provide biblical instruction and minister to children Grade 2 and younger during both morning services.

We believe that these groups are the best way for you to begin getting to know people so that you can feel like you are really a part of the congregation. In each group, you’ll find people growing spiritually and growing closer as they study God’s Word and fellowship together.

Directions to each LifeGroup can be obtained at the Welcome Center in the lobby. Descriptions of each class can also be found below or on our LifeGroup brochure here.
