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.
A part of our new series 'Transformed' we would love to journey together with you not only on Sunday's but through groups during the week. We are encouraging everyone who is not already in a group to sign up and get involved.
