Get Connected, The Living Word Community

CONNECT!

Church is not about buildings and services; at the core, the Church is the people. And at Living Word we want to make sure that you have the opportunity to connect with people on the same journey. Small Groups are groups of 8-15 people that meet in homes or at LWC, on various days and times, throughout the Philadelphia area. They serve three purposes: To build friendships, grow in faith together and serve together.

You will meet a few new faces and have discussions that will help you look further into what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
