When can I join a Group?
Most groups welcome guests and newcomers at any time. You usually don’t have to wait for an annual or semi-annual kick-off.

What if I’ve never been in a group?
No worries! We’re in groups to learn. They are equally enjoyable regardless of previous experience and ‘bible knowledge.’

What if I’ve never read the Bible, or don’t really know it?
Most people join Groups for those very reasons. It’s often the best place to start, rather than trying to do it by yourself.

Who leads the Groups?
Each Group has a Facilitator that leads the discussions.

What material is studied?
Groups decide what to study and how. Many use study guides, videos in addition to the Bible. The church does provide recommended study topics, also.

Do I have to commit to a group long term?
Not at all. Feel free to attend a meeting or two and check them out to find the right fit. Also, Life throws us changes, so it’s possible to change groups based on your evolving situation.
