Connect Groups & Classes

At Abide, we cherish our Connect groups and classes as the heartbeat of care and connection within our church family. These gatherings are more than just another item on your weekly schedule; they're sacred spaces where you're embraced by the love and support of fellow believers. Our deepest hope and prayer are that these connect opportunities become transformative encounters with God, where His presence is tangibly felt through the warmth of community and the power of shared faith journeys. Join us in these moments of connection, where hearts are knit together, lives are enriched, and God's love is abundantly experienced.

Small Groups

At Abide, our Small Groups offer flexible opportunities for growth and connection that can start and conclude at any time throughout the year. While typically spanning 10-12 weeks, the duration and content of each group can be tailored to accommodate the unique needs and schedules of both facilitators and participants. Within these gatherings, you'll experience a blend of study, worship, prayer, engaging activities, and meaningful outreach initiatives. Join us as we journey together in community, deepening our faith, fostering friendships, and making a positive impact in the world around us.

Life Groups

At Abide, our Life Groups are like extended families, meeting consistently throughout the year with brief breaks as needed. Participants and leaders alike commit to a one-year journey of growth, support, and shared experiences. Rooted in the principle of reproduction, Life Groups cultivate a culture of outward focus, aiming not only to grow spiritually but also to produce new leaders and multiply their impact. Join us in these vibrant communities where relationships flourish, discipleship thrives, and lives are transformed for the glory of God.

Classes

Classes at Abide offer enriching learning experiences for all ages and stages of life. Dive into a variety of topics that deepen your understanding of faith, enhance practical skills, and foster personal growth. Whether you're seeking biblical insights, practical wisdom, or specialized training, our classes provide a supportive environment for learning and growth. With flexible scheduling and diverse content, there's something for everyone to explore and learn at Abide.
