GROWTH GROUPS Winter Guide 2017 Growth Groups are for everyone no matter where you are in your walk with Jesus. We encourage everyone to invest in a Growth Group because it s in the context of relationships that life-transformation happens.
Here at ACAC our mission is to follow Jesus in diverse community, because following Jesus and living in community should always go together. A community is a group of people living life together, growing together, and serving God together. We encourage everyone to invest in a Growth Group because it s in the context of relationships that life-transformation happens. Most of our groups are sermon-based, meaning that weekly discussions are primarily centered around the sermon presented during our worship services. Other groups may be Bible or book studies. Using this guide, we encourage you to identify a group that s right for you and jump in. You can register at the Connection Hub, on our website, or just show up to a group and introduce yourself to the Facilitator. If you re not sure about making a commitment right away, feel free to visit a group and give it a try. You can also email any Facilitator if you have a specific question about their group. Group locations are presented in each group description. If you have any questions, visit us at the Connection Hub or connect with me via email below.
