Community Groups
COMMUNITY GROUPS consist of up to twelve people who deliberately develop a lifestyle of following Jesus. Here you can exalt God in worship; experience truth in Bible study and application, encourage each other in care and fellowship, and exercise your gifts in service and witness. These activities occur with the intention of connecting people and of multiplying like-minded groups.
Community groups provide a relational context in which you can journey with others who are growing in Christ and mirroring the disciple making strategy of Jesus. More than just "home Bible studies,” groups support one another, bear one another's burdens, worship and thank God together, and creatively reach out to those who do not know Christ.
Community Groups come in various forms. Some consist of people in the same age grouping or stage of life, while others have a cross section of ages and stages. Others can be Need based or Activity based groups.
Please visit or contact the church office and let us know your desire to join a community group. You will be prayerfully placed in a group suited to your needs. In time, when your group has grown, it will give birth to a new group thus multiplying this ministry. Groups meet on various days of the week.
