GROWTH GROUPS

Real relationships. Real growth. Real life.

The Goal of Growth Groups is to help people grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus and each other. Growth Groups are where real transformation happens — where faith moves from something you believe to something you live. Our goal isn’t just to gather people and have small talk, but to help them become more like Christ through intentional relationships, honest conversations, and accountability.

What To Expect

When you sign up for a Growth Group, you’ll know exactly what you’re saying “yes” to:

  • Size: 10–15 adults (not including kids) so there’s always room for conversation, even if some can’t make it.
  • Length: Groups meet year-round, about 90 minutes each week, with 4 scheduled breaks. New sign-ups open during each break.
  • Life Stage Match: Groups are formed by life stage, not by day of the week, so you’ll be with people who get your season of life.
  • Kids & Snacks: Babysitter costs or a parent rotation are shared by the group. Snacks are a team effort, too.
