At Ezra Church, we believe that life is a team sport – best done together! Growth Groups are a great way to meet new friends, grow in your relationship with God, and just have fun! That’s why groups are an integral part of what we do at Ezra Church! We’ve decided to model ourselves after the first century church and have one large weekly gathering (Sunday) and gather in smaller contexts throughout the week (Growth Groups).
We have three Growth Group semesters during the year – each running for 10 weeks.
If you have any questions regarding Growth Groups, please contact Pastor Erik at erik@ezrachurch.com
Summer 2013 Groups
Come join this summer women’s group as we study the book of Philippians together. We will look at Paul’s secrets of rejoicing and contentment as we press forward in living life intentionally. It will be a great time of exploring this book of the Bible together. We will meet at Ezra Church: Stoughton on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 pm.
