Growth Groups
Calling all people to be fully devoted followers of Jesus bringing His love to life!
Growth Groups:
Growth Groups are groups that can range anywhere from 8-15 people that meet in homes or at the church. Growth Groups are geared toward making relational connections with others at Encounter - especially for those relatively new to the church - while growing together through study of God’s Word.
Through Bible Study Groups studying God’s word, to Fellowship Groups focused on connecting those completely new to Encounter or not yet plugged into the church, find community, to Interest Groups where kids and adults can foster intergenerational relationships though similar activities, to Hope Groups that offer support through life’s most difficult days, there is one aspect that unites them all: Discipleship. Discipleship comes in many shapes and forms, yet its purpose remains the same, to call all people to be fully devoted followers of Jesus and bring His love to life!
Our prayer is that you grow more deeply in your relationship with the Lord while finding life-long connections and friendships through these groups. To sign up for a Growth Group, click the group you wish to join below!
