Group locations & times are determined by the facilitator and host. Off-site locations can include homes, places of work, or anywhere else conducive to meeting weekly with up to 12 folks in a quiet setting with video capabilities.
Here's are the ways you can serve in grow groups:

All group leaders receive an initial training & pastoral staff provide ongoing assistance as needed. You won't have to fend for yourself & you don't need to have all the answers! We are here to help :)
