Lifegroups

We believe that God intended us to be in community with others, and we invite and encourage you to become part of one or more of our Lifegroups. This is a great way to meet people, make friends, and discover the answers to some of life’s questions, while at the same time learning about how God is working in our church and community. We have a group for you, no matter what stage of life you are in.

Our Lifegroups run on 4-13 week sessions. We offer a variety of topics and meeting times. We know that you will find a group to fit your busy schedule. Please do not hesitate to ask questions about the groups. For more information on any of the Lifegroups listed below please contact the church office, the Lifegroup Host or use the contact form at the bottom of the page.
