Held at AFA on Wednesday nights during the school year, Circles are an opportunity to grow in relationship with God and one another! Each Circle chooses its own material for discussion, so that you can discover more about the Bible and explore various topics of the Christian faith in a safe, small group setting. Often including a light snack or drinks, these discussion-based gatherings are a great place to ask questions among people in a similar stage of life.

Check out the Circles below to see if there’s one you’d like to join!
