Large Group
Large group is where all of our different small groups come together as a community. You can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere at our large groups! We have time to build relationships and grow in our faith. Sometimes we have a speaker and message, a Bible study, or a party, but we always have great discussions! Afterwards we have more time for fellowship with an after event that changes every week.
