LifeGroups are an opportunity to find freedom, experience community and grow spiritually in a smaller, more relational context than we experience on Sunday morning.

Are you ready to live life abundantly (John 10:10)? “Growing in Freedom” will equip you to live the victorious life God intended. In addition to the 12-session small group, we will end with a powerful conference (Dec 8-9) focused on overcoming our past so we can run to and with God. Because the topics build on each other, regular attendance and weekly homework is part of this group. Cost: $15 for curriculum book plus a $35 retreat cost. Regretably, no childcare will be provided.

NOTE: Because the Freedom and Holy Spirit groups are both a significant time commitment, we ask that you only commit to one of these groups at a time. This will ensure you can invest in and get out of all that you can from each group. This will also allow us to best use our limited enrollment.
