Adults

Part of being in Christian community can be fun and fulfilling. It can include sharing fellowship, study and prayer with others to support one another, develop spiritual friendships and connect to one another and Christ. Whether you are single or married, there are opportunities as an adult or young adult to become more connected with others in the church. There are co-ed groups or those that meet the needs of women or men who want to gather. Groups are designed for women, men or co-ed to develop trust and joy together as a church body, a family in Christ.

Life Groups are composed of church members or those looking for a church home. They meet on a regular basis to share their lives together and build community. These groups build on the experience of church by being held on days and times outside of Sunday worship in settings where people can really get to know one another and treasure each other's gifts in a personal way. Other ways to connect include Sunday School, Holy Yoga, Zumba and more to help you discover what God can do through you!

Life Groups

We encourage you to visit and join one of the existing groups or let us know if you’re interested in creating a new group. Groups, including Sunday School classes, study a variety of topics and incorporate various teaching styles. There are a number of groups currently meeting in-person and online. Since there are still safety restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be limits to the number of people who can gather in person.
