Spiritual Formation Groups - Small Group Discipleship at City Church Eastside and Parkside

Spiritual Formation Groups, also known as Discipleship Groups, are small groups for spiritual growth and leadership development.

Beginning in the Fall of 2013 many of our groups will study the book of Acts as we enter a season of growth aimed at being ready to multiply a new congregation.
