Adult Groups

Adult Groups

Getting connected at Arcola Church is about relationships that get beneath the surface. That kind of relationship won’t come by simply attending worship services. All of us need time each week with a smaller group of people who can get to know us personally, share life with us, and encourage us to pursue Jesus Christ.

All Adult Groups

Adult Bible/Book Studies

Stay connected by joining a Bible study. Email the leader of the group to join.
