What are Core Groups?
Core Groups are more than just a Bible study or a small group. It’s an intentional time where we gather with others and go back to the basics. We have conversation centered around God’s Word, grow deeper in our faith, and help build up our community as we grow as followers of Jesus.
During Core Groups, you’ll:
- Dive deeper into Sunday’s message, learning to live it out in a tangible way.
- Share what you’re learning and how it’s impacting your walk with Jesus.
- Learn from others as they share how God is challenging them or working in their lives.
There’s no pressure to come with all the answers or lots of Bible knowledge. Just come as you are, and walk alongside others as you continue your faith journey.
Interested in joining a Core Group? Visit the Info Spot in the Commons or email us to learn more and get connected. Groups meet on Sundays and weekdays.
