LIFE GROUPS

Life Groups at MACC

Life groups are designed to promote community and encourage you on your spiritual journey. Our Life Group ministry flourishes as we: pray, teach, encourage, serve, love, exhort and bring out the best in one another. MACC's goal is not to be a church with small groups but a church of small groups. It's that important!
