Adults
A Small group is your main pathway for growth
Learning about God and living a life with Him is better when it’s with a community of believers. Whether it’s studying the Bible, chatting about how to be a better parent or spouse, or having someone pray during difficult life circumstances, small groups are the place to do that! You’ll make some new friends. You’ll learn about God. And you’ll discover the love and hope found in Jesus.

Mens, Womens, Young Married, Seniors …
We are a multi-generational church that love our togetherness yet we understand that men, women, young married couples, and seniors have similar and separate challenges, perspectives, and ways of connecting. Therefore, we provide large group gatherings for particular demographics several times a year. These events are meant to create relationships, encourage spiritual growth, and have fun.
