Connect to a Life Group
Our weekly Life Groups are small groups led by gifted Bible teachers who bring God’s Word to life.
No matter your age or stage in life, our Life Groups help you connect with others and God in a fresh way.
Life Groups are designed to help you grow as a believer, to have victory in your daily walk with the Lord, and to serve Him with your own unique gifts and talents. You’ll also meet friends for life, people with common needs, people who will encourage you, rejoice with you, and pray with you.
To find a Life Group that is just right, you can start by browsing the list below, by calling the church office, or ask a greeter at the Welcome Desk in the Worship Center on Sunday Morning!

Our goal is to be challenged each week by reading and understanding scripture; then individually determining what changes we need to make in our walk with the Lord so that we may grow closer to Him and mature in our Christian walk. Most of our class members have college age or young adult children.
We start our class each week sharing praises for what God has done in the lives of our members during the past week and then sharing prayer needs for the coming days.
Our class enjoys a breakfast fellowship during class time once a month, going out to dinner, and serving out in local community.

We are diverse in age, personalities, background, and interests but many would say we are “family” and have found a “home” together. If you like to laugh, love, share, give, and serve together, this might be your new “home”.
