Small Groups

"Build each other up."

I Thessalonians 5:11

Small groups are an essential part of the church's life and structure. What a beautiful way to embody the vision of College View Church: worshiping God, growing together, living out His love. Check back here for more information as we are excited to be launching (and relaunching) a variety of small groups in September 2023.
