Get connected to meaningful community
Disciple
groups
Following Jesus was never meant to happen alone.
Disciple Groups are smaller communities of people committed to following Jesus together—opening God’s Word, praying for one another, building real relationships, and helping one another grow as disciples of Jesus.
Discipleship happens in relationship.
Disciple Groups gather throughout the week in homes and other spaces around our community.
Together, we open God’s Word, pray for one another, build meaningful relationships, and talk honestly about what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.
This is more than another event to attend. It’s a place to know others, be known, and grow together.
