What are Life Groups?
Life Groups are where church becomes family. They are the primary environment for spiritual growth and discipleship in our church. Through Bible study, shared experiences, and accountability, members learn to apply God’s truth to everyday life.
These Groups meet Sunday after service for 15 minutes to dive deeper into that day's message, how to apply it in your life, and fellowship.

What style of worship should I expect?
Our worship personality would be classified as “blended” with a wide blend. Our song selections include some of today’s popular worship songs as well as timeless hymns and gospel songs. Worship is accompanied instrumentally by a piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Worship leadership is by both a Praise Team and our Choir. You will find our worship enthusiastic, lively, and focused on praising God!
Will I be "singled out" as a guest?
No, we will not single you out or embarrass you. We want you to be comfortable and relaxed. Folks in our church may greet and welcome you, but we won’t draw attention to you or make you feel awkward.
Is it necessary for me to "plan a visit"?
No, but if you do know you're coming, we can have someone ready to show you around, get your children registered, and help you find you a seat.
