You are invited to join a Grow Group!
Grow Groups are hands-on, discipleship-driven communities where your student will spend time weekly investing in one another’s lives. Groups are a place to be known and loved, and to live out our calling of radical affection and accountability through life-on-life discipleship. They are communities of believers, studying the Word, teaching spiritual practices, and investing time in prayer and accountability together. Students will meet in groups with their gender and grade level.
