We want you to fill welcomed and at home here, we will not embarrass you, have you stand up, or ask you to give money.

Sunday Morning Groups are an important part of Lima Baptist Temple; in fact, you haven’t fully experienced the church until you’ve experienced our Sunday Morning Groups. Groups allow you to meet other members and develop relationships that will spur your relationship with God. As Lima Baptist Temple grows, groups allow us to “stay small” and connected. Groups are available for all ages and interests—there’s bound to be one that’s just right for you.
11. HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED IN A SUNDAY MORNING GROUP?
One of the easiest things to do is to participate in a group. Groups meet throughout our campus at 10 AM on Sundays to provide a place for Bible study, fellowship, and support. Come check one out for your age group this week!
