Growth Groups

Growth Groups allow us to come together in a smaller, closer setting with the purpose of truly getting to know one another, growing together in faith, and standing with one another in times of need. Every other week, parishioners get together for a meal, fellowship, prayer, and spiritually focused study which is designed to help us grow more mature in our faith and relationship with God. Groups mostly meet in homes (some meet at the Church) on various days of the week.

For overall Study Group information, please contact Alesha Lilly. If you are interested in attending any of the groups below, please contact them for directions and details:

Parsons Group

Location: 3707 Commerce Street

A growth group targeted at folks in their late 20s and 30s both married and single. The hosts have an infant daughter, so you must not mind a little clutter and the occasional misplaced toy. Welcoming to all, the Parsons Group is a warm and friendly collection of Christians who meet for fellowship, worship, study and prayer in a laid-back and casual environment. We will provide drinks, but feel free to brink a dessert or snack to share, or your dinner if you are running straight from work. This semester, we will be studying a selection of topical issues of interest to contemporary Christians. Come prepared to discuss, explore, share and grow with the rest of the group in a nurturing environment.

Meets every other Monday from 7:30 to 9 p.m.
