ChristCare Groups

Small-groups

What is ChristCare?

We invite you to join a unique small group ministry that nourishes deep friendships and mature faith. 

ChristCare meetings transform lives through prayer and worship, service to others, exploring and applying scripture, and caring in a small group community.

We are a "Circle of Care with Christ at the Center."  Group leaders are specially trained.
Find a group for you below...

To learn more about the four key elements... 

  1. Caring Community
  2. Biblical Exploring
  3. Prayer & Worship
  4. Service to Others

“What’s special to me about my ChristCare group is the really
close personal fellowship that is hard to find today.”
—Gary Clark
