LIFE is better when it's lived together! Everyone deserves a safe place where they can experience "LIFE TOGETHER" with friends.
In a Life Group, you will meet people at various stages in their Christianity who gather in various places on a semester basis, discussing various topics to develop their relationship with God and others. Members develop friendships, pray for one another's needs, and find ongoing ways to stay connected through social activities.
All of us long to be connected: It's how God created us! Our groups give you the opportunity to connect with other people just like you who are endeavoring to live life to the fullest for Jesus Christ. Life Groups let you pursue LIFE TOGETHER in the company of friends.
Our Groups focus on meeting needs in many different areas. We call them HUBS. Click on any of our HUBS to see what groups we are offering in our current semester. They are:

The support group participants, whatever their needs, find the extra care and encouragement necessary to grow beyond the wounds of life's battles, the difficulties in family relationships, the bondage of addictive habits and behaviors, and the isolation caused by shame.

Many search for ways to overcome the conflicts in our relationships. Many were raised in families where addictions existed. We have each experienced in our own way the painful trauma that relationships can sometimes bring to our lives. Some have attempted to use others – our mates, friends, and even our children, as our sole source of identity, value, and well-being and as a way of trying to restore within us the emotional losses from our relationships gone bad. We have all learned to survive life, but we are learning to live life. May you find here a new strength within to be what God intended – Precious and Free.
As this is an anonymous group, there will be no online registration. Contact Melanie directly for more information or any questions at 804-347-7364.

The word tells us “they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony,” (Revelation 12:11) and that is still the way we overcome the enemy. Each week, we will praise God and we will have one or two people share their testimony of how God has transformed their life for His glory. We believe hearing testimonies of God’s goodness increases our faith and gives us hope to believe He can do it again! To close, we will have those who shared their testimony lead us in prayer.
