CITY VIEW LIFE GROUPS: ALL AGES

Small group. Big purpose.
A Place to Know and Be Known
Every person who walks through our doors matters – including you. Our Life Groups are where those connections deepen, where questions are welcomed, and where faith grows stronger through genuine community. Choose from morning, evening, or special interest groups to find your perfect fit.
