Ministry Highlight: CVBC Small Groups

If you call CVBC your church home and you want community, you are encouraged to join a small group!

 

· Various times, days, and locations | Year-Round

· Small groups exist as a means of building deeper relationships with fellow believers — by providing a smaller community within the church  — where Christians can be encouraged to be more like Christ.

· Small groups often discuss the most recent sermon together and focus on applying it to their lives.

· Small groups prioritize prayer and shouldering one another’s burdens in life.

· Some groups meet weekly; some meet every other week.
