23 Adult Connections Our life in Christ was never meant to be lived alone. God desires that we grow together in community. Small Groups, Bibles Studies and classes allow you the opportunity to grow in your relationship with God and others.

The smaller size of these groups (4-15 people) allow you to experience more intimate fellowship and deeper relationships with others.
