Groups:
Life is better when connected with others. That's why we have Community Groups! Community Groups are small group gatherings of about 5-15 people that meet weekly, and Community Groups exist to provide a place for you to make friends, follow Jesus, and make a difference.
The week of September 18 is actually the start of our Fall Season of Community Groups for 2022, and this is a great time to join a Group at the beginning of a new school year and start journeying with others. To find a Group that is a great fit for you, visit our Community Group Finder. Here you can view all of our available Groups and even find a Group that is leading Transformed.
