She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
Proverbs 31:25
If you are looking to meet new people, create long-standing relationships and learn, our Community Groups are just what you are looking for. Unlike short-term Connect Groups, Community Groups meet on a continuous basis with a consistent schedule. Groups are held either on the Woodland Campus or in an area residence. Groups are lead by a Community Group Leader who leads in prayer, discussion and study. Explore our groups below and feel free to contact any group leader if you have questions before visiting.

The first study will be Grateful by LifeWay Women.
Who We Are: Fostering a heart of gratitude brings such blessing and joy to our lives and to those around us. Being grateful turns our eyes off ourselves and helps us cherish our time and relationships in a new way. When we are thankful people, we point to our good God who loves and provides for us. But how can we develop grateful hearts?
