Small Groups
Multiple groups, multiple nights — built around the Bible and real friendship.
Ages 18 – 30 · College & Career
One big family.
A thousand conversations.
Multiple small groups, monthly hangs, quarterly worship nights, retreats, outreach, and a whole lot of food. School, work, dating, faith, doubt — bring all of it. There is a seat for you.
The mission · stays simple
Cast a wide net.
Invest deeply.
Make disciples who make disciples.
How it works
One ministry.
Lots of tables.
We gather big — worship nights, retreats, parties, serve days. Then we break out into small groups built around real friendships and real Scripture.

Different nights, different vibes, all 18–30. Coed, guys, girls, grad students — there's a fit.
Worship Nights
Quarterly. Every group, one room. Worship, the Word, and a meal together.
Retreats
We get away together. Fall retreat in October — see below.
Serve & Outreach
Showing up for our city and each other. Regular serve nights and outreach pushes.
Fun on Purpose
Bonfires, game nights, hikes, fundraisers, late-night diners — the rhythm of friendship.
