LIFE Groups

Why LIFE Groups?

Belonging is an essential next step for each of us, and belonging happens best in LIFE Groups. The Bible challenges us to fellowship with one another and encourage one another. This is not easy, as we are pulled by life in so many directions, but once you find a group, you will enjoy the blessings of doing life together.
