We realize you can get lost at Polk Street with the size and scope of the ministries at our church. We also realize that our faith most easily grows and matures in smaller and more intimate settings. At Polk Street we have small groups for people from many different stages of life.
Check out the various groups listed here and discover a place to connect.
