Grow Groups:
What is a Grow Group? Grow Groups are relationship and prayer based gatherings. Grow Groups are a connecting point where friendships begin, fellowship takes place, and community happens. Eight to twelve adults meet regularly to use prayer, Bible study, and discussion to build nurturing, dependable relationships with fellow disciples.
Why Grow Groups?
Grow Groups make a big church feel small. They create smaller, more personal settings for people to create authentic relationships with God and others, in a nurturing, confidential environment. Grow Groups create more groups by growing new leaders.
Where do Grow Groups meet?
Groups can choose where to meet. Some groups meet at King’s Way, group member’s homes, coffeeshops, etc.
When Do Grow Groups meet?
Grow Groups meet at whatever time best suits the group.
How do I join a Grow Group?
Attend GroupLink. GroupLink is an introduction to life in a Grow Group. You will get a feel for what a Grow Group is like, meet people already involved with groups, and have a chance to find a group you might like to join.
