SMALL GROUPS 

We’ll update you on Small Group details so keep watching!

Small Groups/Adult Ministry at Stockton Covenant Church. Throughout the history of Christianity (starting in Acts 2), believers have been called into smaller communities in order to grow and to reach their world with the gospel. All of us need a smaller grouping...a class, a small group Bible study, a ministry team, in order to thrive in our faith and have the most impact on the world. We have just the place for you, whether it be an evening Bible study or a Sunday morning class.
