Family Groups
What are Family Groups?
They are a community of 10-20 individuals who are committed to practicing the "one another" relationships found in the teachings of the New Testament. It's a natural place for people to experience authentic community, to experience an extended family. These groups are the relational backbone of the church and our goal is to share in community, discovery, and the mission that Jesus calls us to.
