Our small groups are open to 8-10 people who agree to do life together in one of the areas described below. We understand how hard it is to be a Christian in this day and age. Small groups serve as a reminder that you are not alone in facing or experiencing the issues you struggle with (e.g., as young person, single, young or mature married couple). Joining a small group will enable you to have others that you regularly fellowship with (once a month) while also finding the support you need to walk the Christian walk.
