Home Groups
Home Groups are small groups of people who get together every week or two to eat, pray, encourage each other spiritually, and have fun. Some groups do a Bible study connected with the weekend messages, some study a book of the Bible, and some read through a book together. Groups meet on different days and times and new people are always welcome. We also launch new groups at least twice a year. Interested in leading or hosting a home group?

We meet for fellowship, friendship, sewing, and prayer. If you or someone you know is facing a difficult time in their life and you think he/she would be blessed to receive a quilt, please call or make note on your weekend K.I.T. card.
