SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY

(OR CLICK HERE TO VIEW BY GROUP TYPE)

Summer LIFEgroups begin in June and last for four sessions (in most cases). So, it’s a short-term commitment! All groups are based on connecting, studying the scriptures and praying for one another. We’ve got groups going just about every day of the week, mornings and evenings. Groups for men or women, groups for couples, groups for college and young adults, and quite a few groups for anyone and everyone.

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO NEXT:  Check out the listing of Summer LIFEgroups, and select the group you’d like to participate in. Need help or coaching on a group that will be a “best” fit for you? Contact Lyle Castellaw.
