Life is better together. Find your place to belong.
Join a Connect, Care, or Community Group that meets at various times and locations throughout the year. Find friends, have fun, and encourage one another. Groups are a safe place where you can connect, grow, and serve.
Did You Miss GroupLink? Groups Still Open!
We believe life is better connected, so we invite you to find a place to belong. Join a small group of 12-15 adults who meet weekly or regularly throughout the year to grow spiritually & do life together. Groups are a place where you & your family can connect, grow and serve!
Connect Groups – Step into a short term group where you can build friendships over shared interests such as books, sports, or stages of life. Meetings might happen at a campus, home, restaurant, or field. Connect groups are for everyone and anyone.
Care Groups– Find others to walk with through the hard transitions of life. Gain a fresh perspective from folks who have been there and can offer hope and help.
Community Groups (formerly known as Small Groups) – Do life together in a small group. Experience life-changing faith as you learn, care, pray, and serve together to impact our world. Community groups meet regularly and break for the summer.
Due to COVID-19, childcare for groups will not be provided. If in home childcare costs are an issue and would prevent you from attending a group, you may apply for the Crossroads Child Care Scholarship (link to application provided in the following document.)
