Fellowship, Evangelism, Discipleship
Offering Encouragement and Healing through Christian Counsel
Everyone has times in their lives when they need encouragement and healing. Small groups provide you with a safe, confidential place where you can find wholeness and renewal through the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the people of God. Whether it is getting together to exercise, do crafts, or have a Bible study, you will find that group ministry allows you the opportunity to enjoy Christian support, guidance, and fun, as well as freedom from hurts, hang-ups and habits. Please visit this web site often for an updated schedule of classes. For more information, please contact Shari Padgett at 352-748-6124, or by sending her an email.
