The purpose of our LifeGroups is to foster significant Christ-centered relationships. This page is specifically designed for our LifeGroup shepherds who are currently doing that work.

2020/21 LifeGroup Calendar
We have three cycles in which our LifeGroups meet. Our breaks are designed so that those in the LifeGroup can slow down for a few weeks and to also provide natural on-ramps and off-ramps for those who need to transition. They aren't hard-and-fast rules, but are the general schedule that we all seek to follow.
Spring | 1/11 - 3/21 |
Summer | 4/11 - 6/26 |
Fall | 9/5 - 12/5 |
