We are made for connection – with God and other people. Through our Groups Ministry at Ignite, we foster both. Whether you are asking questions about God, are new to your faith, or have been following Jesus for years, groups are one of the best ways to grow spiritually. Our groups meet in homes around the community or sometimes at church on different nights of the week. If you want to take the next steps in your spiritual journey, build relationships that will help you grow, and get connected at Ignite, we encourage you to find out about a group today!
