We would love to see everyone in our church to be in a healthy Small Group. Our team is passionate about getting people in groups, starting new groups and getting them healthy.
Small Groups are three or more people who meet together regularly to balance the five purposes. Whether you are looking for a Men's, Women's, Couples, Singles, Workplace group or anything else that describes your preferences and state of life best, there is one that is just right for you!

The Spiritual Health Assessment measures your health at a particular point in time. It is not a tool to see how you measure up against other people; nor is it a tool to see how close you are to perfection. Rather, this is a tool that will help you evaluate your spiritual health, and give you direction for developing a plan to bring God's five purposes for your life into balance.
