2 – As a LifeGroup, you’ll be doing a SERVICE PROJECT together. Keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities to serve those in our Valley. When you come up with a plan, please let us know about it by emailing: john@community.cc.
A powerful expression of biblical community.
This is a setting in which people connect with a small group of friends who are mutually committed to caring for one another, growing in their faith, and impacting others for the cause of Christ. We invite you to find a group of friends that live near you so you can join them in “sharing life together.”
Our LifeGroups are a powerful and personal way to develop your faith. We need other people in our life to best grow to be more like Jesus.
If you have questions about our LifeGroups, please contact John Scott.
