What are Life Groups at Calvary?
Life can get complicated, and you weren’t designed by God to tackle it all alone. Life Groups at Calvary happens to be one of the ways that we can learn to walk through our Christian faith together. This is where we can do life together, and learn more about God in a safe environment. A life group can look like a bible study, a topical study, a social gathering, an activity based group, or a group that gathers over a shared interest. The goal, regardless of the type of group, is to grow together in our faith, prayer together, and care for each other!
