Life Groups
Life Groups are relationally driven and smaller expressions of our church family, and they generally meet the first 3 weeks of the month. Each week, Life Groups spend time intentionally connecting with and praying for one another and discussing Sunday's teaching and how it applies in our lives. Discussion guides are provided, so even if you missed a teaching, you can still join in. If you would like help with finding a group, please don't hesitate to contact us.
TRIPODS: In addition to Life Groups, we encourage you to explore Tripods where smaller groups of people come together for friendship and formation. Take a look at the Tripods page to learn more.

Our group strives to develop deeper relational connection both vertically(with God) and horizontally(with each other). We’ll use sermon topics, books, videos/podcasts, meals together, prayer, worship and the leading of the Spirit to explore our deep need for God individually and with each other. All are welcome to be seen and known and ultimately be transformed more into the likeness of Jesus.
