A primary goal of our church is to encourage each member to experience true communion -- both with God and with other believers. Thus, every member of the church is encouraged to participate in a GIFT Group (Growing in Faith Together). Our communion deepens as we grow in the knowledge of the Word, learn to apply it to daily living, and fellowship and serve with other believers. It's all about mutual encouragement and accountability. The small, intimate settings provide a great forum for frank discussion, regular prayer, and the development of lifelong friendships.
