Life Together Small Groups
Building our community a few people at a time.
Why are we doing this? Because we are called to community. From the beginning God said, "It is not good for humanity to be alone. We shall make a helper." In community we learn to live out our Christian faith, not dust it off on occasional Sunday mornings.
Small groups can be very diverse. Some groups are Task Groups, some groups are Study Groups, other groups are Nurture Groups. The groups meet for 8-12 weeks and then either disband or reorganize for another 8-12 week session. Anyone may join a group at any time.
For more information about the Life Together Small Groups ministry, you may call Groups Leader, Bill Lindell or his apprentice Dianna Reynolds.
