Welcome to Groups Ministry at PUMC!
Here at PUMC we offer a small groups system designed to reach new people for Jesus and help those who are already following Jesus to grow in their discipleship. We offer three types of groups:
Connect Groups: Connect with others. Build spiritual friendships.
Grow Groups: Grow in your relationship with God and in the character of Christ.
Serve Groups: Serve our church, our community, and our world.
