Why Join a Small Group?

  • Experience fellowship and develop deeper relationships with other believers.
  • Offer and receive care, support, and encouragement in an intimate setting of believers. 
  • Grow spiritually through the discussion of God’s word and learning from one another. 
  • Deepen your prayer life as you pray together and for one another.
  • Take church deeper as you ask questions and express curiosity in a way that regular Sunday worship doesn’t permit.
  • Help the church grow by engaging in discipleship, mission work, and reaching outward to the community.
