Growth Groups

 What Is a Growth Group?
 A Growth Group is a home fellowship made up of around 10-16 people who meet weekly to study, to share, and to support one another in their Christian lives. Each group is led by a trained leader and/or a host couple. A normal meeting lasts for an hour and a half, followed by light refreshments. Some groups spend some time worshipping together as well.

 How Important Are Growth Groups?
 We consider Growth Groups to be the hub of ministry. They're the place where the real ministry of the church takes place as we encourage, support, and challenge one another. We believe God doesn't want any of us to be left to walk alone - that we need each other. 

 Which Group Should I Join?
 We suggest you join a group based on your "life needs" rather than on geography or night of the week. We've found that a group works best when you share common interests, backgrounds, or similar aged children. Frankly, sometimes it might take two or three groups before you find the perfect fit. But don't worry, you'll find it! These groups have an open door policy. You are always free to visit.
