Community Groups
We’re glad you are interested in finding out about our Community Group ministry. Here at Peninsula we place a high priority on being involved in a small group.
It is sometimes difficult to establish relationships with others and you may feel a bit lost on Sunday mornings with so many people going in different directions. That’s why we encourage everyone to get connected with others in a more relational setting with a community group.
It is in a small group environment that a person can really see their needs being met and can learn how to follow Jesus more closely. Just imagine what God can do in people’s lives when they begin to "rub shoulders" with one another, pray together and seek God’s will.
