Community Life Group Ministry:
We have weekly life group meetings throughout Monterey County. The life group provides an enriching time in the Word and fellowship with other members. It is an opportunity to be ministered to in a personal way and to discover Christ's heart for the people. We believe that building relationships are vital to spiritual growth. Life groups provide the environment to form lasting relationships. Below are the current groups we have. More will start in the upcoming months!
