Small Groups
Small Groups at Laurel are made of individuals and families who enjoy doing life together.
Find a Group
Small Groups at Laurel provide opportunities for spiritual growth and a deepening of faith in Jesus Christ. Our small groups include time for deep Bible study and discussion, prayer, meditation, and encouragement to shine Christ’s light throughout the week. We lift one another up, invite one another in, and strengthen one another through the Holy Spirit.
Each Small Group is unique and different. Some fit a specific age bracket or season of life, others meet in a particular geographical area, and still others gather on a specific night of the week to fit busy schedules.
Feel free to reach out to any of the group leaders below. We’re confident there is a place for you to belong!
