LifeGroups

LifeGroups are Central’s expression of living life in community

As a follower of Jesus, there will be times when you find yourself in need of help. In those moments, you’ll find support and encouragement within a community of believers—the Church. There will also be times when others need our assistance and you’ll find great fulfillment in doing what’s necessary to meet their needs as an expression of God’s love.

Browse available groups below, and email us if you have questions or are interested in leading a LifeGroup.
