As we grow in Christ, our life shows it, which will also be visible within the group. We will discuss what producing fruit looks like within community as the group grows together.

As we grow in Christ and in our group, sin and struggles come to light. Community groups are an amazing place to care for and encourage growth. Brit Gilman, Pastor of Care, and Stephanie Geisler discuss what care looks like in community.

Groups are designed to help us grow. As a community group, we want to be rooted in the Lord and His Word. This podcast addresses how to facilitate discussion and use the growth guide.
