Groups are location-based small groups facilitated by
co-leaders and hosted by members of the congregation. Groups
meet for a time of Bible learning, prayer and fellowship
with the goal of bringing people to maturity in Jesus
Christ. Currently three groups are meeting: one in Rochester
Hills everyone other Wed. at 7 p.m.; one in Rochester Hills
every other Thurs. at 7 p.m. and one in Shelby
Township at 7:00 p.m. on the
1st and 3rd Fridays.
All groups are currently in a study of "The
Truth Project." A time for prayer
brings members closer to Christ and to each other.
Fellowship is also an important element of the evening for
members to share their concerns and joys with one another.
Various Schedules. The 20-30 year-old
Peer Group and over-30 year-old Peer Group holds various
social functions throughout the year. Check the calendar for
upcoming events.
Meets at 9:30 a.m. Two adult classes

Martin for anyone interested in learning more about the
Christian Church.
