Small Groups

Small Groups are at the heart of the church and the best way to get to know others, grow in faith and receive pastoral care. Our SVC Small Groups range from traditional home groups, prayer groups, community outreach groups, activity groups, age related groups, to interest groups. We believe no one should be doing life alone. We’re better together.
