Christ Care Groups

Statement of purpose
CHRIST CARE groups are small groups that meet weekly.  Each group has a different focus, but they all have Christ as the center, and each groups spends some time in building community, prayer and worship, biblical equipping (taking scripture into daily life, week by week) and choosing a group mission.

Having a perfect ‘center’ is important in handling bumps in the road.  CHRIST CARE groups are circles of care with Christ as the Center.  They provide opportunities for group members to meet Jesus:

This church invites you to experience small groups in a variety of times and ways.
