Types of Groups
Each group type shares a foundation in Christian faith and Scripture but serves different needs within the church community, whether they be emotional, relational, or intellectual.
These groups are dedicated to studying the Bible in depth, with the goal of growing in knowledge of Scripture, understanding God’s Word, and applying it to daily life.
The central focus is on Scripture itself. These groups typically involve reading, discussing, and interpreting Biblical texts, often with an emphasis on understanding the historical context, theological significance, and practical application of the passages being studied.

These groups bring together individuals who share a common interest, hobby, or life stage, such as parenting, marriage enrichment, arts, sports, or community service.
The focus is on fellowship and building relationships around a shared interest, with an integration of Christian values and Scripture relevant to the group’s specific focus. For example, a marriage group might study Biblical principles for relationships, while a community service group might focus on how to live out Christ's teachings in practical ways.

These groups are designed to provide emotional, spiritual, and sometimes practical support to members who are going through challenging life circumstances. This could include grief support, addiction recovery, mental health issues, or chronic illness.
The primary focus is on providing a safe, compassionate space for members to share their struggles, receive encouragement, and find healing within a community of faith. The study of Scripture is often applied specifically to issues of suffering, comfort, and God’s presence in difficult times.
