Groups are gatherings of approximately 8-20 people who meet regularly to explore faith, celebrate the successes and good times of life, as well as comfort one another during the tough and disappointing times. Groups are made up of people from all spiritual backgrounds – skeptics, spiritual explorers and longtime followers of Christ. No one is expected to have all of the answers to Biblical questions or have life figured out.
New groups launch throughout the year with semesters that begin each fall (September) and spring (January). However, we also have plenty of groups that continue on longer as well as those that are short term and may begin and end outside of our typical semester rhythms!

We have a variety of groups, events, and opportunities for the whole family to build community this fall.

We’re still finalizing details for our fall programming, and they’ll be updated here as soon as we have details and registrations in place.
As usual, we’ll be offering groups throughout the week for folks of all ages and in all stages of the faith journey.
We’ll be offering many groups on one night this fall - all hosted at the church with childcare provided.
This fall, we’ll have three large gatherings - one for men, one for women, and one for married couples - all centered around our sermon series, “Renew.”
