Christians thrive in community. Groups are a great way to connect with others, grow in faith and become stronger disciples for Christ.
-
We believe that life transformation happens best in small groups, and we are committed to seeing every person grow in their faith as they become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Our communities are modeled after the Book of Acts, characterized by accountability, servanthood, love and evangelism. We invite you to connect with a small group here at Woodridge.

Prior to our church baptism celebrations, we offer a "Baptism What's" Class. In this class, Pastor Annette covers the questions, What's Up with Immersion?, What did Jesus say about Baptism?, What if I was baptized as a baby?, What difference does Baptism make? and What if I’m afraid of speaking in public?.
