WHY JOIN A COMMUNITY CARE GROUP?

 

The answer is simple. God encourages us to be with “One Another” over and over throughout scripture. The benefits of belonging in a group of people who will accept, uplift, support, and encourage you, as you experience the ups and downs that life can bring is one of God’s most precious gifts!
