V Groups are encouraged to invite/welcome people from within and outside our congregation.

V Everyone in the group will practice active listening to others as a ministry of grace.

We are always on the lookout for new small groups. If you have an idea or a suggestion, please let us know.

What is a Small Group? Our mission is to connect all individuals into a small group where each person can be cared for, find purpose, grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and become disciples in building the Kingdom of God.

Why Join a Small Group? Jesus set a wonderful example for us many years ago by calling together His twelve disciples. He taught them, and they learned spiritual truths we continue to seek to understand better even now. He lived among them and understood their place in the world like never before. Within the community of believers, we each have something to offer. Equally, within the community of believers, we each have something that another can help us with; where we benefit from having another’s care.

What Types of Groups Will Be Offered? Our hope is that our small groups will decide to gather for many different reasons, a shared meal, fellowship activity, bible study, classes, etc. The possibilities are endless!

How Do I Join a Small Group? Contact Pastor David, Pastor Justin or Cheryl Brock and we will be happy to help connect you with just the right group to start you on your way.

We pray that you will join us in one of our wonderful programs and hope that you will let us know if there is something new and exciting that would be of interest to you and others in our church community.
