Community Life
We gather regularly in small groups to share the life Jesus Christ has given us. Through fellowship, prayer, worship, Bible study, and service, we seek to be transformed by his Spirit, that we would more deeply love God and neighbor and that our love for each other would be a witness to Christ for the watching world.
Don't be just a Sunday churchgoer! Share in the life of our church through our community groups. Listed below is information about a number of them. If you'd like to join or visit one or if you'd simply like more information, please contact Michael Harrington, Pastor of Community Life.
