CONNECTION GROUPS

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
Connection Groups are small gatherings that meet on a more intimate level. There are on-campus Sunday morning groups and off-campus groups that meet during the week. Connection Groups are a great place to make friendships, grow closer to God, be encouraged by others, serve alongside others, and worship in a more casual setting. Check out our groups below.
