Adult Life Groups

Adult Life Groups are where we do life together! These smaller groups are an essential part of helping everyone connect at Calvary and grow in faith together. Join us on Sundays at either 8:30 or 11:15 AM.

ALGs meet to study God’s Word, pray, enjoy fellowship, and share the joys and challenges of life. This is where we develop lasting friendships and build community that stretches far beyond Sundays. 

There are lots of options! Feel free to visit as many ALGs as you like. Find the best fit for you — newcomers are always welcome!
