Join a Growth Group Today!

Growth Groups have one, simple purpose—to bring people together so they might grow and be encouraged in Christ.

We believe God created us to live in community with others and only then can we experience the full life He intends for us.

Growth Groups are where we pray, care for one another and are missed if we don't show up.

Regardless of your age or interests we have a group for you (or we can help you start one!).

WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER!
