CYPRESS LIFE GROUPS LISTING
Thanks so much for demonstrating an interest in our Life Groups Ministry at Cypress. Please take a few minutes to browse through the list of existing groups. While some may not be able to accommodate new group members at this time, there are many that would love to meet you and welcome you to their group. If you have general questions about the ministry as a whole contact Pastor Laurie. If you have questions about a specific group, please contact the group leader.
***Groups noted with the triple asterisk are fairly NEW groups
Once you have determined which group best suits your needs and desires, please contact the group leader to arrange a group visit.
