What are GIFT Groups?

GIFT is an acronym for Growing in Faith Together, and that is the best way to describe GIFT Groups. These small groups are designed to be the best part of a person's week! If you join a GIFT Group, you will discover a welcoming community that will: 1) encourage you to grow deeper in your faith and relationship with Jesus by reflecting on the previous Sunday's Scripture and by praying together, 2) help you foster meaningful relationships with other participants in the group, and 3) inspire you to carry the love of Christ into the world.

During a GIFT Group gathering, your facilitator will lead you in a discussion on the Scripture passage from the previous Sunday's sermon, as well as provide opportunities for fostering friendships with group members through food, fellowship, and prayer.

What is the Commitment?
GIFT groups meet once a week for 5 weeks. While we recognize that life happens and emergencies arrive, we ask that you commit to participating in at least 4 of the 5 sessions. This is important for fostering the kind of community and depth of conversation GIFT Groups create.

Is Childcare Available?
Yes! With advanced registration, our nursery staff are available to provide childcare for all of our on-campus group meetings. Simply select childcare as part of this registration process.  Childcare is not available for GIFT Groups meeting off-campus.

Childcare age guidelines:
Weekend and evening groups and classes: birth through 5th grade.
Weekday morning and afternoon classes: birth through preschool age.
