"It is not good for us to be alone. That's literally what God says after making the first person. We are made to be in community."
Small groups are groups of 6-12 people who meet regularly for mutual support and spiritual growth. They gather around various shared interests or needs, from parenting, to bible study, to walking in nature. But no matter the type of group, the goal of each group is first and foremost building relationships with each other and God.
Participate in activities and prayer as a group. If you’ve found yourself envious of the activities and fun our young adult group has been having, but you’re 40 or over, this group is for you. This group plans to meet twice a month to participate in fun activities like Hatchet House, art projects, tours, etc. Contact: Elise Gladu, (530) 520-4440.
