HPC offers a number of excellent small groups of 5-12 people which meet at various times of the week or month. While most of the groups utilize the Christcare model that encourages community building, prayer and worship, Bible study and missional service, all of our groups exist to help individuals (whether members of HPC or not) grow in their faith and foster Christian service to others. Current groups include Girls of Grace for Middle School-aged girls and offer a time of fellowship, sharing and fun in a confidential, safe environment. They meet on periodic Friday evenings from 7:00-8:30 in the Lounge and Whatever … for High School-aged girls which meets and meets periodic Sundays from 12:00-1:30 in the Lounge. Both offer a time of fellowship, sharing and fun in a confidential, safe environment.
