Small Groups

we are created to live in community

Grow Together

Meeting in small groups affords us all the opportunity to more fully experience God through close relationships as we pray and laugh together, as we encourage and help one another, and as we study and live out God’s word together – simply put, it’s where we grow together by doing life together.

Small groups consist of three or more people in various life stages who meet on a regular basis – these can be families, friends, or even perfect strangers.

“Small group” is not an event, or a location, it is a community. Tap the button below to find your group!

Rooted is a 10-week small group experience for people seeking after God, community, and purpose.

Week of December 7, 2025  – Advent: Peace

Description:

Advent comes from the Latin word adventus, meaning “coming” or “arrival.” For centuries, Christians have marked the four weeks leading up to Christmas as a season of anticipation and preparation — remembering how God’s people waited for the Messiah’s birth, and how we now wait for His return.

Advent reminds us that the story of Christmas isn’t just about a baby in a manger, but about a Savior who came once and will come again. It’s a season to slow down, light candles, open Scripture, and rekindle hope. Each week focuses on one of the four great themes — Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love — leading us to Christmas Eve, when we celebrate the arrival of the Light of the World.
