Jesus said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” -John 13:34-35.

COMMUNITY GROUPS
Small Groups create an environment where people can grow their faith while connecting, supporting and sharing life with others. Small groups range from Bible studies to common interest groups where members connect outside the church (examples: coffee shops or sporting events). No matter where you may be on your faith journey, having close relationships with others is Biblical and beneficial.
Here are some samples of small groups:
Couples
Marriage and Family
Marriage and Family for empty nesters
Men's Groups
Singles
Women's Groups
If you are interested in any of these community groups click below. Please email Bruce Droogsma or stop by the “Next Step” area following our Sunday worship service if you have questions or need more help finding a group.
