In a large population, creating a sense of community and connecting with others is important. In the church, it’s crucial. LifeGroups are small groups within the larger church in which people of similar interests take care of the “one another” in life. In a large church, it’s important that community exists in order for relationships to be real and relevant.

Outdated
Thursdays | June 17 - July 15 | 7 p.m. | B118 & Online
There are plenty of assumptions about dating and marriage in today’s world. According to the culture’s standards, decisions about how to date, when to date and who to date are all up to you and your preference. But what about God’s standards regarding intimate relationships and choosing a partner?
This is a five-week study based on the book “Outdated” by J.P. Pokluda.
