Connect-Grow-Serve (CGS) Groups are groups of people who Connect with each other, Grow in their relationship with God, and Serve others in love.
Moving beyond weekend worship to belong to one or more of these communities is essential to healthy spiritual growth. Varying amounts of connecting, growing, and serving are okay, even expected. To see some examples, watch the video below.

This ministry supports young families from expecting to delivery and beyond! We're here to help you connect with congregational supports that you can choose, like meals, a pastoral visit after your delivery, or advice and encouragement from other parents. We also want to connect you with resources for growing your young family in faith, like baptism, Bibles for young children, or family and personal devotions.
