A variety of groups, so everyone finds a place to belong
People come from different life stages, interests, and needs — so our groups form around areas of affinity like location, marital status, age, ministry, personal needs, or shared interests. They generally fall into two broad kinds.
Primary
Connect Groups
Life-on-life discipleship
Our Geographical Connect Groups form the primary discipleship environment of the church. They meet weekly and are built for long-term relationships — Bible study, prayer, fellowship, shared meals, and mutual care.
✓Open to seekers and new members
✓Led by leaders who coordinate care & growth
✓Grouped by where you live · hybrid friendly
Secondary
Groups for life stages, needs & interests
Community in more specific ways
Alongside Connect Groups, we offer groups that help people connect around a shared season or passion. They may meet monthly or seasonally, with different lifespans — but each helps people connect, grow, and serve.
Five ways to connect and grow
Primary
By where you live
Geographical Connect Groups
Core discipleship focused on spiritual growth, community, and life application — Bible study, prayer, fellowship, shared meals, and Sunday sermon discussion.
Life stage
Marriage Enrichment (MEGs)
Strengthening marriages through shared experiences and mutual support — communication, finances, parenting, and spiritual intimacy.
Life stage
iMEN Groups
Fostering accountability, spiritual growth, and intentional living among men — book studies, discussion, prayer, and shared activities.
Life stage
iLM Groups
Encouraging spiritual growth, support, and holistic development among women — book studies, discussion, prayer, and social connection.
Life stage
Demystify
Supporting single young adults as they navigate purpose, relationships, and life decisions — topical discussions, Q&A, and social hangouts.
More ways to connect
Need-, task- & interest-based groups run seasonally:
Need-based — recovery, grief support, caregivers, widows & widowers
Task-based — worship, missions, legal & ministry service teams
Interest-based — sports, bikers, entrepreneurs
