Know God. Find Family. Make a Difference.

Knowing God is about learning and growing in our faith. Learning Groups are one of the tools we offer to help us go deeper beyond a weekend service. These are designed to tackle specific topics, address questions about our faith, and build life on a biblical foundation.

Learning Groups will be held in person at our Hagerstown Campus at 11 AM on Sundays based on the schedule below. Ask a leader at Next Steps or anyone on our hospitality team if you're unsure where to go
