Connect Groups

Find Your People. Grow Your Faith.

 

Life is better when we walk through life together. Small groups are where faith meets friendship; where you can ask questions, share stories, laugh, pray, and be encouraged through life’s ups and downs. 

 

Whether you're brand new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, there’s a place for you here. In a small group, you’ll find community that strengthens your spirit, conversations that deepen your understanding of God’s Word, and a space where you truly belong.  There is always another seat at the table for someone to join in the conversation.

 

Take the next step by joining a group, building lasting relationships, and growing in faith together.

 

Community Matters

We understand that life is busy and everything competes for our time. We want to create a space and time where you feel loved and surrounded by people ready to walk through life together. Whether it’s raising kids, celebrating victories, or coming together with others who bring their voice amid all that life offers, these connections remind us that we have a Creator who loves us and is there for us as we grow in faith. Connect groups help us reach out and meet others to make life more fulfilling.

Tuesday Mom's Evening Bible Study: 


Me, Myself, and Lies: A Thought Closet Makeover (Bible Study Book)

Words are powerful. Especially the words women speak to themselves. All too often, what they say to themselves when they lie in bed at night or look in the mirror in the morning is not even close to the words God wants them to speak to their souls. This 7-session study will encourage you to clean out the junk in your mind and replace hidden negative thoughts with positive truths from God’s Word.
