Journey Groups Survey
This fall we were able to offer Journey Groups for children, middle school and high school, women, men, young adults, married couples, parents of children, and parents of teens, for those just exploring the faith and those desiring to dive deeper into the things of God. We’ve offered Bible studies, book studies, video studies, studies within homes, the church building, Zoom, and even at an assisted living complex. Our Journey Groups are a primary means that we as a local church fulfill Christ’s mission to become disciples of Christ who are making disciples of Christ. Because of this, it is our desire to become better and better at what we do. Please take a moment, and if you haven't already done so, complete our Journey Group Participant’s Survey. You can complete the attached survey and return it to the church office or complete it online right here: https://www.psyc433.site/index.php/365747/lang-en.
