Prairie Small Groups
Jesus includes everyone and invites all people into a relationship with him, teaching, “Come as you are, but don’t stay that way”, because the greatest adventure of our lives involves becoming more like him. That means pursuing spiritual growth. At the Prairie Campus we encourage each one of us to be asking, “How am I growing deeper in my faith? What’s my next step in growing closer to God and following Jesus?”
Small groups are a great place to pursue that growth. And they are a great place to make friends! Life is better when we live it together.
Recent small groups have included "Invitation to the Old Testament: A Short-Term DISCIPLE Bible Study", anti-racism small groups, Lenten studies, young adult groups and more.
Don’t see a group that suits your needs? Let us know! Email Patty with suggestions!
