Please join us for one of our Winter/Spring 2012 Life Groups. If you have never been a part of one of SCFBC's Life Groups, then you are in for a great experience. Life Groups are groups of 12-15 people that meet together each week to learn about the Bible, to grow and to have fun meeting new people!

Our Winter/Spring trimester starts the week of February 5 and last through mid-April. So, it's just enough time to learn something new and make some new friends, without feeling like you are signing your life away. There are many different kinds of groups to choose from and we're sure that there is one just right for you!
