"So continue encouraging each other and building each other up, just like you are doing already."
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Reach groups are focused on helping people inside and outside of the church. We reach out to people by doing service projects in our community, hosting special events for our community, and having special support groups to care for people inside and outside of the church.
