We cannot follow Jesus alone.
Join a group this season! We have many types of groups that meet regularly for the purpose of supporting and encouraging one another, building friendships, and helping us grow in our relationship with Jesus.
Some of our groups are ongoing and others follow a semester format beginning in January and September.



Join a Group Today
Groups are broken up into three different types. Pick a group type below to learn more.
LEARN Groups | Centered around Scripture and study.
Learn groups focus on discovering truth together through Bible study, theological discussions, and faith-anchored learning environments.
These groups are for you if:
• You want to deepen your understanding of the Bible — because we are saturated in, shaped by, and submitted to scripture.
• You love thoughtful conversations that take Scripture seriously — where honest questions are welcomed and thoughtful responses promised.
• You want to build relationships rooted in shared learning and faith — because we cannot follow Jesus alone.
PLAY Groups | Built around connection, fun, and shared life.
Play groups are spaces for belonging through interest-based gatherings, shared meals, or informal meetups that reflect the joy and love of life together in Christ.
These groups are for you if:
- You’re looking for ways to build friendships and enjoy life together — because we cannot follow Jesus alone.
- You want to connect around common interests, life stages, or just enjoy some fun — a reflection of grace, joy, and the goodness of life with others.
- You value spaces of welcome where everyone belongs — where hospitality means more than a seat; it means community in action.
GROW Groups | Form deeper rhythms of life together.
Grow groups are committed to spiritual formation, relational depth, and the ongoing transformation of everyday life with God.
These groups are for you if:
- You’re looking for a more consistent, life-sharing community that meets in homes or neighborhood spaces — extending the welcome that says there’s a place for you at the table.
- You want to cultivate a more integrated spiritual life — because all of life is all for Jesus.
- You’re ready to grow in both faith and self-awareness, even when it means being honest about your need for grace — because we are more of a mess than we imagined, but more loved in Christ than we ever dared hope.

Celebrate Recovery
Tuesdays | WeeklyJoin GroupWe live in a broken world and we ALL deal with life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits. No one has the ability, nor should they attempt to face their hurts on their own. Celebrate Recovery is a biblically balanced approach to help bring sustainable recovery and healing to the challenges each of us face every day. It guides us toward new healthy truths and life-giving habits as we repair our broken relationships with others, God, and ourselves.

Healing Drum Circle
Wednesdays | WeeklyJoin GroupWhere Rhythm Brings Hope, Healing, and Connection
The Healing Drum Circle is a welcoming, life-giving community where people of all ages—from children to seniors—can experience the power of rhythm to reduce stress, release anxiety, process grief, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves and others. Using the African Djembe drum and other percussion instruments, we create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing, joy, laughter, learning, and meaningful friendships naturally flourish. Whether you are navigating trauma, loneliness, life challenges, or simply looking for a place to belong, the drum circle offers an opportunity to listen, respond, express yourself, and discover the therapeutic power of rhythm. No musical experience is needed—just an open heart.
If you can clap your hands, tap your feet, bang two sticks together, or simply have a beating heart, you already have everything you need to join us. Bring a drum or instrument if you have one, or use one of ours, and come experience how rhythm can help restore peace, build confidence, strengthen community, and remind us that none of us has to walk life’s journey alone.
Everyone is welcome. We will find our groove together.
