The ultimate goal of a growth group is to connect people to the two things they need most . . .the Bible and other Christians, creating a climate for spiritual growth.

We do this by:

• meeting regularly with each other in homes
• sharing our lives
• praying for each other
• discussing a Biblical text & life application.

Below you will find a list of Sermon Based, Leader Based, Video-Led, and Support/Recovery Groups with information to help you choose the group that might be right for you.
