C3 Groups
What are they? At this point in our church’s life, C3 Groups are Life Groups and Connect Groups, both with the key mandate of connect, care & community.
“C3 Groups meet on a regular basis with the aim of reaching new people and connecting people to each other, God and the church.”
-Ps. Lorne Tebbutt
