Do you desire to grow in your relationship with God and other individuals? Then a small group might be for you. Each meets on a regular basis, usually once a week or every two weeks, and provide accountability, study of God's word, and Christian fellowship.
Small Groups are aimed for Adults. If you are looking for a group for youth (high school and middle school), please see Youth Ministries link. If you are looking for a Young Careers + College Group, please go to the Young Adults link for more information. We have small groups that are mixed ages & co-ed, career, women only, men only, and for families. If you are interested in joining a Small Group, please see our various groups below for more information and we invite you to contact the Small Group leaders directly. If you have questions on Small Groups in general, please contact Wil Wong, elder and small groups coordinator via email smallgroups@livinghopebible.org.
