Life groups are a great way to grow in community and faith with others. There’s a group for everyone!

  • Continuing on in our Fierce Faith theme for this year, Empow(her) E-groups will be going through Hebrews 11 known as the Hall of Faith. Each week we will be studying one of the people mentioned in this chapter and unpack their story to see how their fierce faith helped shape their life and the life of those around them.
