Arana Group Life

Group Life has one purpose—to bring people together to help them find freedom. We believe God created us to live in community with others and only then can we experience the full life He intends for us. Groups express our desire to be inclusive for our community and missional towards our world. From interest to home to discipleship to support groups, Arana's group ministry has many options for you to get connected. 

Here is a quick overview of some of the groups we currently have running. Availability and capacity may be limited, but if there are any that catch your eye that you would like more information about or you would like to express interest in joining one of our groups, please complete this interest form. Let's get connected!
