People should sign up for small group beause you can't lose. You meet new people at church, you find time with the Lord and it's a recharge for the week. Plus, you get a whole new set of friends that will help you grow.
~ Meg
I found my friends in a small group and now my kids have grown up with their kids. It was like having another batch of moms at my disposal, and truthfully it’s been a great growing experience for our entire family
~ Lauren
Because of my small group I can now walk through life knowing I have more than 20 brothers in Christ to call upon in my time of need…or success. In those small group settings you’ll figure things about yourself that may surprise you.
~ Chris
My small group helped me many times through the years especially after I experienced loss. They were there for me, they prayed for me, and they were just like sisters. If you are hesitant to sign up, my advice is to give it a try.
