Connect Relationally – Grow Spiritually
We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why groups exist – to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
Small Groups
Don’t Do Life Alone! Small Groups provide you with a place to connect relationally and grow spiritually. They are small gatherings of people from every facet of life who desire to build community, focus on discipleship, and encourage one another in their faith.
Alpha
Alpha is a series of talks and discussions about the basics of Christian faith for people at any point of spiritual exploration that meets three times a year. Members are encouraged to ask questions and openly explore the meaning of life in a safe and welcoming atmosphere. This is a perfect first step for those who have recently come to faith, have questions about God, or are rekindling a relationship with
God.
Serve Groups
Serve Groups are made up of the Dream Team and Outreach Team that serve together and include key group components such as gathered prayer, devotionals, and time spent together as a community outside of the actual serve. This is the place where we operate in the very thing God has designed us for and is an important step for every believer.
Freedom Groups
Freedom Groups meet at the beginning of every year. We gather weekly to discuss the Bible; it is designed to equip you to live the victorious and abundant life Christ came to give you. Freedom Groups build on the foundation of your faith in Christ to help you embrace the truth of God’s Word. This group will help you remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom. The group concludes with a two-day Freedom Conference!
Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. It is based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory and uses weekly gatherings as well as a twelve-step study to defeat our personal struggles.
