Don't do life alone!
True life change happens in the context of relationships. Even Jesus spent most of his time with 12 friends. First Groups provide an opportunity to engage with people that you can be real with. Everyone needs life-giving relationships to grow, so join or lead a group that matches your passion or schedule and get involved. We are better together. Don't do life alone.
