Our spiritual growth occurs in community – not isolation. Groups are places where you can...
Just as God exists in community, we were also designed for community. We need God. We need each other. While you might have hesitations, we pray you will take a step toward becoming the Beloved Community by considering the Sanctuary Groups listing below, and see how God will meet you through hospitality and connection.
