“Make Disciples. Make Friends. Make A Difference.”
2026 Life Group Opportunities
We at Growing Oaks desire to build authentic relationships while maturing in our love for Jesus. We believe Life Groups provide a healthy and safe way for us to journey together as we seek to follow Christ. Life Groups provide us the opportunity to anchor our souls in Christ, grow in our faith, while at the same time make a difference in others lives and the world around us.
