Life Groups

Real Conversations. Real Connections. Real Growth.

Are you looking for meaningful community, spiritual conversation, and a whole lot of fun?

Do you find yourself wanting to dig deeper after Sunday’s message?

Then Sermon-Based Tree of Life Groups might be the perfect fit for you!

These groups offer a chance to explore the weekly message on a deeper level, all in a fun, relaxed setting with people who are walking through similar seasons of life.

Each week, groups gather to explore the sermon’s key themes, ask questions, share insights, and support each other in applying God’s Word to everyday life.

Whether you’re a student, young adult, newly married, a parent of little ones, or a bit more seasoned in life, there’s a life group that fits you. Our Sermon-Based Groups reflect our heart for being a thriving church.
