Groups

Walking with others as we walk with God--Life is better together!

We believe that life is better when it's lived together. Home Groups are a vital part of who we are as a church, providing a place where authentic relationships can grow and faith can deepen.

These groups meet once a week in homes throughout our community to discuss and apply the previous weekend's sermon. Together, we ask questions, share insights, encourage one another, and discover how God's Word shapes our everyday lives.

Home Groups reflect the example of the early church, where believers gathered regularly in one another's homes to pray, learn, break bread, and support each other (Acts 2:42–47). Home Groups create space to be known, cared for, and challenged as we walk with Christ together.

Home Groups are an opportunity to build meaningful friendships, experience genuine community, and take the next step in your spiritual growth. We believe these groups are one of the most valuable ways to connect with the body of Christ and become part of the life of our church.

You weren't meant to do life alone. Join a Home Group and discover the joy of growing together in Christ.

*Home Group guides and registration will resume in the Fall.
