Growth happens in community.

From Scripture we know that growth as followers of Christ happens within community. At Olive Branch, our Home Groups provide the best way for us to be known and loved within the church. For that reason, we consider ourselves to be a church of home groups rather than a church with home groups.

Our groups gather each week around Scripture to pray, experience community and participate in God’s mission. Many of our Home Groups follow a sermon based format that creates the opportunity to discuss & process the things we are learning together during our Sunday gatherings.
