How do I know which Growth Group is right for me?
As you consider joining a Growth Group ask yourself questions like, “When do one of these groups fit my schedule?” and “What is being taught? Is this an area the Lord wants to grow and equip me in?” Ultimately we would love for you to consider “How is this going to grow me in my worship? How is this going to equip me for outreach? How is this going to connect me deeper to this community?”
