We are committed to growing disciples of Jesus by loving God, loving others, and serving the world. One way we do this is by gathering together for study, prayer, service, or sometimes just plain fun and friendship. Check out our Lent & Spring groups below and get connected.

weekly groups


Sunday morning - Adult co/ed

Authors and pastors Philip Gulley and James Mulholland attempt to answer one question: If we took God′s love seriously, what would our world look like?
