LIFE HAPPENS IN GROUPS
A PLACE TO KNOW AND BE KNOWN
There are a lot of people at City View! Getting acquainted can be challenging. And if you're newer here, it can feel like everyone's already connected. We get it.
That’s why our Life Groups exist. There are lots of them. They're small in scale to help you get to know people and find a place to belong. It's a place you can feel safe asking questionis about the Bible knowing you're probably not alone
From life stage to general interest, from brand-new faith to long-time believer, there’s a group for you at City View.
Sunday Morning Life Groups invite lively Bible discussion while building friendships and learning to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
Groups meet weekly and always welcome new attenders.
