Growth groups: you to connect to one another
by giving you the opportunity to meet regularly with a group of 10-14 people for a set period of time.  you to become more like Christ
by giving you the opportunity to reflect upon, discuss, and apply sunday’s sermon. And  you out to serve others
by giving you the opporunity to care for the people in your group, church, and community .
These groups launched the week of April 18th. New groups will launch in September.
You can browse the groups and sign-up to participate with the form at the bottom of the page. Each group is designated with a “G” or “M” (Greenwood or Melrose) which indicates the campus that the group’s leader and host regularly attend.
