“You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” —Psalm 16:11
Girlfriends Joy Groups are made up of women who are really excited about the Lord and connecting with others! We believe that, even with today's hectic schedule of the modern woman, it is important to take time to fellowship with other women. We have several Joy Groups spread over a variety of interests and hobbies that meet to help grow relationships, renew spirits, and help us remember the joy of being a woman of God. Joy Groups are a place to connect with friends! Join us today!
