Life Groups meet weekly during three seasons: fall, winter, and spring. During the fall season, adult groups will be united in what they study/learn based on the Sunday message series. Study material will be provided on the website. For the winter and spring season, study material is at the discretion of the GL, but must be approved by Pastor Amos. Please fill out the form below to submit your material options for winter and spring seasons. Check out our list of curriculum recommendations if you are looking for ideas.
