What is a LIFE Group?
Everyone wants to go to a place “where everybody knows your name!” Joining a LIFE Group means you are in close relationship with a smaller number of people and will provide a safe place to share thoughts and grow. The hope is that every member of GSUMC will find a place within a loving LIFE Group ministry.
