Groups

Sunday Mornings and Midweek  

GROWTH HAPPENS TOGETHER

As followers of Jesus we were made to live in community. In fact, we believe one of the primary ways God grows us is in the context of relationships. Our groups are designed to foster this growth. They're also a place where you'll experience a sense of belonging and care from fellow believers. Each group prioritizes studying the Bible, praying for one another, and helping each other live for God's glory. 

  • Sunday Mornings (Christian Education)

    Adult Bible Fellowships

    If you are looking for a place to get connected with others, grow in your understanding of the Bible, and experience a caring community, then joining one of our Adult Bible Fellowships is your next step. Our ABFs are groups of adults, ranging from 10 to as many as 50 people, who meet in classrooms throughout the church each Sunday morning. We meet from 9:00-10:10 during the Christian Education "hour". If you have kids, we offer Sunday School classes at the same time for children and youth. To find an ABF that's right for you, click below.
