Edgewater offers many small group opportunities to enable you to form a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and to connect with a community that will encourage you and help you grow.  We strongly believe that in a church this size it is imperative for each person to belong to a small group.  It's where we learn, grow, bear one another's burdens and fellowship together.
