Life Groups

At Spring Creek we believe that being a part of a Life Group is a vital element for growth and fulfillment as a Christian. Life Groups are mid-sized communities of people within the larger body of the Church - doing life together.  

At the heart of our vision for Life Groups is a desire to see a community of believers (Meet Friends) who are growing deeper in their love for Christ and obedience to Him (Meet God) in fulfilling the Great Commission in their neighborhood, city, and throughout the world (Make a Difference).

There are many options for Life Groups on Sundays and Wednesdays.  Life Groups are listed by general life stage - but this is only a suggestion and you are welcome to check out any group at any time.
