Simply put, Life Groups are friends you grow, laugh, and learn with. They’re the people you invite into your life – letting your guard down, growing closer to God, and investing in your community together.

Led by one or two individuals, most Life Groups are made up of 8-12 people who meet weekly in someone’s home, a coffee shop, a park, or even online. We have Life Groups for men, women, couples, singles, college students, professionals, hobbyists, new believers, and more! 

Current Groups:
