“Make Disciples. Make Friends. Make A Difference.”
2025 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, while at the same time make a difference in others lives and the world around us.
We are currently in the process of looking for Life Group leaders for this fall. If you are interested in serving in this way or would like to know more, please see Pastor Greg.
Life Groups begin in September. To sign up or inquire about a group, please contact the Life Group leader.
