As the days get warmer, you might be feeling inspired to shake up your routine – get outside more, spend time with other people, and find new ways to be refreshed and shed the winter blues. Now is the perfect time to connect in a Group at LCBC! Getting together with others in a Group allows you to explore hobbies, connect over shared interests and life stages, and dive deeper in your faith.
If you’re not sure where to start, check out 14 interesting Groups happening soon at LCBC and find something to look forward to this Spring!

Ride n Share
Happening off-site in the Berks area
Biking is great for your physical health. Sharing life with fellow Jesus followers is great for your spiritual health. Each week we ride with the intent to share life with each other. Our paces may be different just as life stages are different, but if we are willing to slow down, or maybe speed up for a bit we may find great connections.
