Our desire is to help married couples find hope and direction, make intentional marriage investments, and connect with other married couples. Monty and Kathy Curry will be leading this new LifeGroup. (Room 205)

Life-Together 24/7 - Young couples led by Roy and Ellen Thomason work with young couples new in their journey of marriage. Here you will find other couples who know what you are adjusting to and will encourage you to sacrifice and work toward building a Christ Centered Marriage. (Room 208)

Grunewald/Whiteman Life Group – This Life Group consists of adult couples in their 30s and early 40s. You will meet lots of married couples who have started families. You will be motivated by encouraging and dynamic teaching as we experience interactive Bible Study with application for today. Come be apart of married couples supporting one another as their children face the early years of school.
