Growth Groups

Growth Groups provide a dedicated space for adults to come together in faith and fellowship, offering a meaningful opportunity to delve into scripture and faith questions. Some groups examine the teachings from the previous Sunday’s message engaging in a thoughtful exploration of scripture passages, fostering discussions that encompass not only the scriptures themselves but also the sermon’s insights. Other groups use traditional bibles study and other resources to explore the intersection of life and faith.

There are several Growth Groups that meet during the week, typically in the fall and spring months.
