Community Groups represent one of the main opportunities for fellowship in our church. We do life together, we worship and pray together, we learn from each other, we have fun! With many options to choose from, you'll hopefully find a group that's just right for you. Schedules and locations sometimes vary, so it's always a good idea to call ahead.
