Growth Groups



What goes on in a Growth Group?
The goal of our Growth Groups is to provide one more opportunity for believers in Jesus Christ to Grow in Christ-Likeness.
We believe that to Grow in Christ-Likeness our lives need to be deeply rooted in God's Word.
So Growth Groups have a common Bible Study they work through together.
We also believe that it is difficult to Grow in Christ-Likeness alone so each group is designed
to connect people to other believers to encourage each other to Grow.

How many people are in each Growth Group?
We like to keep the groups small to encourage more interaction with others. They usually average about 10 people per Bible Study.

Where do the Growth Groups meet?
Each Bible Study group meets in a home each week. Depending on the needs of the group, it could be the same home each week or a different home. Don't worry though, if your home is not available your group will totally understand!

How will Growth Groups benefit me? There are many benefits to having this type of interaction with the Body of Christ including:

  1. Spending time in God's word throughout the week,
  2. Meditating on a specific portion of Scripture throughout the week,
  3. Discussing hard-to-understand verses and concepts,and
  4. Moving past simple knowledge to understanding and applying the Bible to everyday life!

Why join a Growth Group?
If you are seeking a time where you can recover from a tough day of work or from a lively home, if you desire to meet new people or make lasting friendships, if you wonder who God is or have questions about the Bible, or if already know God and seek to know Him better, a Growth Group is for you. There is something for everyone! We hope to see you there!
