Lifegroups

A Lifegroup is a small group of people from the church who get together on a regular basis to help each other through life. A typical format we follow is to meet every other week for a time of Bible study, prayer and encouragement, once a month for a meal and fellowship and usually once a month as men and as women for a time of service or fun. Contact us to get involved.
