God made us to connect relationally and grow spiritually; that's what groups are all about. So, this weekend and next, our Groups Launch is the time to take those next steps to grow spiritually and connect relationally. Stop by the lobby before or after service and check out our signup boards. Pastor Kenny will be on hand to answer questions and help guide you to a group that fits your need and desire to serve.
