Groups

ABOUT

At ABC we encourage everyone attending ABC to become a part of a weekly group where they can learn, pray, serve, and grow together. We will not grow in isolation. God has designed us to live, learn, and grow alongside others in our spiritual journey (Proverbs 27:17). We desire to move toward others in groups with vulnerability and truth (Heb. 10:23-25).
