CONNECT with one another

God created each of us with the need for connection, both with God and one another. We consider participation in a Community Group to be one of the best and most important ways to experience ‘God’s gift of life in Jesus.’  The purpose of every group is P.O.R.T. - For when a group gathers, we PRAY together, we OPEN the Scriptures together, we meet REGULARLY, and we TOUCH one another’s lives as a result (Acts 2:42-47).

Some community groups meet on Sunday mornings and some meet during the week.  But all groups welcome newcomers and no prior Bible knowledge is necessary. It’s in these groups that people experience the joy and the depth of authentic, Christian friendship. From meals to ball games to movies, Community Groups ‘do life’ together.

You may choose to join a group for several different reasons: either a friend invited you, the location works for you, or even because of special interest or station in life (young-marrieds, empty-nesters). It may take two or three groups before you find the perfect fit. But don’t worry, you’ll find it!  God doesn’t want any of us to be left to walk alone. Get connected!
