| These small groups consist of 8-12 adults meeting in homes approximately every 2 weeks for fellowship, prayer and Bible-centered discussions. Groups are diverse and open to all adults--couples and singles!
Each group has a designated leader that is responsible for facilitating discussions and coordinating group activities. Multiple GIG Groups currently meet in various locations around Effingham and the surrounding areas. Participants are asked to commit to regular attendance. Participating in a group is a great opportunity to make friends and pursue spiritual growth! |
