As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
You were designed to live in community.
That's why we like to say, "We are only better together!"
A Groups is one of the best ways to truly engage at Avenue. It's where hundreds of people find support, friendship, and take steps in their faith.
