Connect, Grow, Serve
BE PART OF THE FAMILY
The best way to meet people and make yourself at home at Cathedral of Faith is to get involved.
Make a difference. Make disciples. Make friends.
Groups are where we positively impact the world around us, grow together as we seek Jesus, and get connected to community. We have three kinds of groups at Cathedral:
SERVE GROUPS - Make a Difference.
Our “Serve” groups help you be part of a mission bringing the light and love of Christ to our community. It takes all kinds of people with all kinds of skills to make Cathedral of Faith work. Join a team and serve with us. It's a great way to make friends and make Cathedral your home. This is how we show that we love God and others.
GROW - Make Disciples.
Our “Grow” groups create a place where you can discover your purpose and grow to become more like Jesus. God has a great plan for your life and joining one of our classes or small groups will help you on your discipleship journey to grow in your faith and discover your life purpose. This is how we grow in our love for God and others
CONNECT - Make Friends.
We were meant to do life together, and we believe that community happens best around shared interests and passions, so we have a variety of groups which give you the opportunity to “Connect” with others. There’s a place for you here to experience support and encouragement. This is how we increase our love for God and others.
