Small Groups
Our Small Groups are designed to be missional, transformational, and relational. They change us, help us grow, and get us to go out and do good in the world.
In Matthew 18:20 Jesus says, For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.
Questions & Information
Small Groups typically consist of 8-12 people who commit to dig deeper into their faith and their faith journeys together as a group. How did you hear about these Small Groups? Please let us know!

Exploring Your Spiritual Gifts
What are your spiritual gifts? You might think you don't have any, but every single person has received gifts from God to be used in our daily lives to serve God and our neighbors. Come explore what your spiritual gifts are (yes, you have some but might not know what they are yet!), engage in bible study about spiritual gifts, and then discern how you can best use them to lead a daily life of faith and purpose. Led by Dr. Elise Brown.
