Essentials Small Groups

We are formed as Christians by exploring scripture together with others. In this age of social distancing, let’s be intentional in engaging the essentials with our church family.

Join us in January 2021 as we continue our small group Bible studies by diving into the book of Genesis. These 10-week small group experiences are designed to draw you into one of the essential elements of our Christian faith—moving through the Bible in community with fellow Christians.

Are you ready to join a group?
