Community Groups
Community Groups are in-home gatherings where members grow in three dimensions: Up (knowledge and love of God), In (friendship and meaningful care for one another), and Out (serving others outside the group). These groups are at the heart of our Joy Filled Community, where relationships deepen and faith flourishes through shared experiences of worship, fellowship, and service.
Community Groups
Even in the early church, Christians gathered both “in the temple” and “house to house,” creating spaces for more intimate connection. Our Community Groups follow this model, offering a place to worship, enjoy one another’s company, share meals, and serve others. Typically, groups of 5-12 people meet at least twice a month for Bible study, worship, prayer, fun, and occasional acts of service. While the size, frequency, and focus of groups may vary, each one is committed to growing Up in faith, In through community, and Out by serving.
Some groups are open to all who register, while others may focus on specific interests or populations. If you feel called to lead, contact Tommy Branagh to talk about next steps.
What to Expect
The first thing you’ll experience is a warm welcome—a key part of our Joy-Filled Community. No matter where you are in your faith journey, you’ll be embraced just as you are. Whether you’re new to the Bible or prayer, group members and leaders are excited to walk alongside you and make you feel at home.
You don’t need to have any prior connection to the church to join a group, but we warmly invite you to join us—and your group members—for Sunday worship. Together, we live out our faith not just through learning, but by building relationships that last and sharing in the joy that comes from caring for one another.
