Small Groups
Our small groups are created as an opportunity for people to connect and grow in their relationship with the Lord and church family through taking a moment to gather and study the Bible. No previous Bible knowledge needed nor does one need to claim to be a Christian! Your presence is our treat. Each group is an environment where people are safe and encouraged to ask any questions that are on their heart.
Men
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
Hebrews 3:12-14

Outreach
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;
Romans 12:4-6
