Small groups are opportunities for people to learn more about the Bible in community and discover how to apply it to their lives. We believe that small groups are the heart of the Christian church, just as they were for the very first church (Acts 2:46). Therefore we encourage everyone who wants to be a part of All Nations Christian Fellowship to join a group. As you can see below, we have many opportunities available. Please look over this list and contact one of the leaders to find out more about them. If you are not sure which group is for you, contact Tim Walter at 531-2356 or tim@ancfchurch.org and he will help you find a good group for you. God bless!
