I’m in a group for at least 5 years, to me Growth Group were like family. They are very supportive. They allowed me to be vulnerable during those trials and storms in my life. These were the people and the words and lessons in the group helped me grow. In fact, they helped me grow over the years. To me, they become my life long friends. - Terry & Asha P.

I attend so that I get to interact and expound on topics such as Sunday sermons and get various perspectives not only my own. I can also share my own blessings and prayer requests or even ask for advice in certain areas I am struggling with and vice versa to other members as well. Finally, the fellowship and time together are vital for the encouragement and support of one another. - Ivy G.
