synago  cell groups

Get connected in synago cell groups! These youth-led cell groups have 5-10 youth and gather each week for fellowship and study. The goal is to strengthen each member's spiritual relationship with God and Jesus Christ and to build Christian community within a circle of friends.

The purposes of each synago cell group are to:
  • Grow closer in our relationships with God and Jesus Christ;
  • Grow closer in our relationships with one another;
  • Learn more about the Christian faith and God's Word;
  • Encourage honesty and sharing in an atmosphere of trust, confidentiality, and open-mindedness;
  • Support one another and care for one another in Christian love;
  • Grow in number by inviting others;
  • "Multiply" into two groups when we reach 10 regular members to encourage intimacy and continued growth.
  • If you're not connected and would like to be, talk to Ryan or Marnia immediately.
