SPRING SMALL GROUPS INCOMING
Our Spring 2025 Small Groups will begin the last week of January, with most running through April. Small Group content ranges from Bible study to a book study. Regardless of their content, Small Groups are designed to help you dive deeper into community and your relationship with God.
No matter where you are in your faith, we try to have a small group that will meet you where you are at. From studying a specific topic, to diving deeper into the Bible, we have something for all ages and life stages.
If you would like a personalized recommendation for a small group based on your individual preferences, please reach out to info@area10church.com and we will do our best to point you in the right direction.
