Life Groups
Life Groups are a great way to grow in your relationship with God and with other people who:
-
Are in the same stage in life
-
Have similar passions for service or connection
-
Are interested in extended learning opportunities
-
Or some combination of the three!
If you would like to join a SOLLC Life Group, check out our opportunities below.
