Our support groups are a chance to share and love one another in a special way. They can be a great opportunity to give and get support from people a similar life stage or with similar life experiences. These are different than Life Groups, in that their focus is on digging deep into an area of your life to equip you, move you, and heal you.
These groups are open to people outside of WestGate, so feel free to invite a friend, neighbor, or co-worker to check them out.
