Small Church
SMALL CHURCH | Join a small group
Looking to deeper into community? God has drawn an amazing group of people to our church, yet an hour or so on a Sunday morning just isn’t enough time to get to know them. That is why we have group life. The primary way that we do group life is called “Small Church”. Click Here
