Let God Grow Your Character in a Growth Group this Fall 

Your character is the most important part of you. That’s why this fall in our Character Counts Spiritual Growth Campaign, we’re inviting you to be part of an 11-week Growth Group journey through the Fruit of the Spirit — the very qualities that make us more like Jesus.  

With close to 40 new  groups to choose from, there’s a place for you! Don’t miss this chance to strengthen your faith, build Godly character, and meet new friends.

“The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”  - Galatians 5:22-23

Here's what you can expect in a Growth Group this fall:

  • EASY-TO-KEEP COMMITMENT: Enjoy a power-packed Growth Group with 15-20 other people like you once a week for 11 weeks (beginning the week of Oct 6 - Dec 15).

  • GROUPS TO MEET YOUR NEEDS: There are both In-Person Groups and Online Groupsthat will meet almost every night of the week.  

  • FIND YOUR PEOPLE: The best way to grow is together! In a Growth Group, you’ll build friendships, laugh, and encourage each other in faith.

  • ALL FOR FREE: Receive your Growth Group Bible Study book, plus an exclusive Character Counts t-shirt and more... FREE! (details below).
