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.
ALGs meet at 8:30 and 11:15 AM on Sundays to study God’s Word, pray, and share the joys and challenges of life. We develop lasting friendships and enjoy real community.
ALGs are currently holding virtual meetings at their regular times on Sunday mornings. Your ALG leader will let you know how your group will connect. Many are using Zoom. If you're not yet part of an ALG, check with Pastor Nathaniel Pearce for how you can be part of a group.
There are lots of options! Check out the list below and feel free to visit as many as you like. Find the best fit for you — guests are always welcome!
