LIFE IS BETTER TOGETHER
Sunday Mornings, 8:30 a.m., 9:45 a.m., & 11:00 a.m.
We were not designed to “go it alone.” God designed us to be in relationship with Him and with others. Sunday morning Life Groups are designed to help you engage in relevant Bible study through discussion and application of God’s word in order for you to enjoy healthy and growing relationships with Him and with others. Life Groups are for all age groups and stages of life, and they meet every Sunday morning at 8:30, 9:45, and 11:00 a.m. There are many options from which you may choose. Stop by the Next Steps area and let us help you discover the group that is best for you.
