One night each week during the school year, community groups meet in homes for the purpose
of moving people toward a closer walk with Christ in a small group environment.
At Northridge Church, we are committed to helping people become increasingly devoted
followers of Jesus Christ. It is the mission that drives everything we do as a church.
The community group is an ideal place for this mission to be accomplished. In a small
group, people study God's Word together and are in a small enough environment to
discuss the issues and challenges of life. It's also where they pray, care for one
another, and are missed if they don't show up

- You will build spiritually enriching relationships.
- You will be in an ideal environment for spiritual growth.
