We were made to live in community. Groups create a space for people to share their lives with others, grow spiritually together, and encourage each other through the highs and lows of life.

Our small groups meet in homes, coffee shops, and other places where people love to connect.

Why Merge Groups?

Groups create a space for people to share their lives with others, grow spiritually together, and encourage each other through the highs and lows of life. A group leader determines how often their group meets and what the focus of the group will be.

How do I join a GROUP?

There are several ways to get connected:

• Visit The Welcome Spot in the lobby and talk to the team there.
• Explore the GROUPS link on this page and find the right GROUP for you.
• Talk to someone you know who leads a GROUP and jump in with them.
• Use the CONNECT CARD and check the box GROUP; someone from our team will gladly help you.

What do GROUPS do?

Every GROUP is different. Some discuss the weekend message, some complete Bible Plans in the YouVersion Bible App together, some do Bible studies, some do topical book studies, some serve together in the community, and some play games or ride four-wheelers once a month. Two things you’ll find in every GROUP, though, are relationships and conversations that help people grow in their faith.
