Small Groups
JOIN A SMALL GROUP!
Looking to connect with others and grow in faith? Small groups are a great way to dive into the Bible and build meaningful relationships with others. We have a variety of groups ready for you; check out our list of open groups and reach out to the contact person.
Can’t find the right fit? No problem! The Small Group Committee can help you start and lead your own group. Got questions? We’d love to hear from you: Dan Shiau (moc.liamg@d.uaihs), Mike Campbell, Keith Jacobson, and Rebekah Kim.
