What are Grow Groups?
Grow Groups are a way to mature in your faith and explore how the Gospel informs our lives and empowers us to live daily for Christ.
-
Unlike Connect Groups that are open to anyone joining anytime and lesson content being approachable with no prior experience, Grow Grows build each week on the previous lesson to dig deeper and explore topics in more detail. For this reason, it is hard to join a Grow Group after a week or two.
-
Grow Groups are purposeful studies into specific topics to help Christians grow in their walk with God. Each study has a workbook to go through each week to further what is taught in each meeting with questions, scripture, and challenges to help you in your faith journey.
-
Grow Groups are always aimed at leading you to know and grow in your understanding and relationship with God.
-
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is meaningless. (Phil. 4:9) God teaches us to change us—through renewing our minds (Rom. 12:2), through conforming our hearts (Rom. 8:29), and through living out our faith in real life (2 Tim. 2:2).
“So let us leave the first things you need to know about Christ [and] go on to the teaching that full-grown Christians should understand.”
— Hebrews 6:1 (NLT)

Need Childcare?
Want to be part of a Grow Group but don’t have someone to watch the kiddos? You’re in luck! We offer childcare for children babies through 5th grade free of charge.
On Sunday evenings, we have FirstKids’ Quest (4 years - 3rd grade) & Forged (Preteens). We also offer nursery care. You can register your child to be part of FirstKids’ Quest and Forged below.
On Tuesday evenings, we have childcare for children ages birth through 4 years old. (Although we can allow for older kids, the activities are well below their attention level, and this will be really dull for them.) You can register for childcare when you sign up to be part of a Grow Group.
