Community Groups are the lifeblood of a church because they are where relationships are nurtured, friendships are made, and support is given. At Joy, we encourage the development and growth of groups that meet for fellowship, Bible study, food, activities, or shared interests.
This page will help you promote your group if you're a leader, or find a group if you're looking to join one. Browse the list below and feel free to contact the leader listed if you'd like to know more.
