WEEKLY SMALL GROUPS
Sundays 9:00 a.m.
This hour is mainly focused on discipleship. Leaders facilitate in depth studies and discussions based off of Scripture. Small groups meet for middle school and high school, girls and boys individual groups.
Wednesdays 6:00 p.m.
(Ended May 2022 / Will resume August 2022)
This is a high energy time focused on fellowship, evangelism, and discipleship. Students worship the Lord through music, teaching, and connecting with others in small groups. We meet together for a time of worship and teaching, then split for small group time. In groups, students experience age appropriate discussions for what they face in today's world.
