"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."
-Pr. Ben

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.
