Life Groups

LIFE GROUPS

Life Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationships 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 Life Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you. We believe circles are better than rows.

Our Life Groups have three sessions throughout the year.

  • FALL – September thru November

  • WINTER – January thru May

  • SUMMER – June thru August

In the search area below, you can search by different criteria. If you click on the group, there is additional information, including how to contact the group leader directly.

If you click “I’M INTERESTED” and fill out the form, the group leader will receive your information. Please note inquiries go to group hosts who are volunteers. If you do not hear back within 48 hours, please contact [email protected].
