These are shared interest groups that women can join at any time.

The Following are some great reasons for G! Groups:
• To provide shared-interest groups for women to connect in silly and significant ways
• To provide a safe place for women to belong
• To provide a place where friendships can begin and grow
• To provide another venue for women to connect inside and outside the church walls
• To provide more intimate settings for women to share
