GROUPS
-
Community Groups (CGs) are a great place to find community and do life with one another in a small group setting. CGs are a place for accountability, prayer, and the reading of Scripture. We have several CGs serving Highland's young adults. We offer gender-specific and young couple groups. Find a list of Young Adult Community Groups HERE.
To find out more about Young Adult CGs, contact Ben Calkins.
