...to develop significant relationships

Jesus calls us to community, not isolation. We want every willing adult, teen and child to experience authentic Christian community in a small group. Small groups are an ideal place to develop significant friendships and become more fully devoted followers of Christ in a supportive environment.

We believe this because...

Small groups are biblical. Throughout scripture, God is continually inviting us into relationship with Himself and with one another.

Consider the following...

Jesus called his "small group" of disciples to follow him and experience life together. (Luke 6:12-13)

The early church began in small house churches, growing and multiplying their small group communities. (Acts 2:42-47)
