Check out the available groups here at Freshwater!
Growth doesn’t happen in isolation; it is a result of interactive relationships. In groups, we have this gift of others around us to encourage changes in our character and spiritual growth.
We are created for connection with God and others. Groups accomplish both. We gather together with others and learn from God’s word. When you share what God is teaching you it helps others and it is good for your own faith!
