On Wednesday, January 15, Pastor Chris will be starting a Wednesday Night Life Group at 6:30pm in Room S161. A Life Group is a small group of people within a church community who regularly meet together to study the Bible, share their lives, encourage one another, and build deeper relationship. It's a way to foster spiritual growth through fellowship and accountability within a smaller group.
