What Are Growth Groups?
Growth Groups provide a safe, caring, and friendly environment with a small number of people from our church family. These groups gather regularly for Bible-centred discussions that engage our hearts so that we become more like Jesus in every part of our lives. Growth Groups are an integral part of the life of our church, and we encourage you to join one of them listed below.
