Community Groups
At YpsiFree, we believe God created us for community -
we are meant to live in a relationship with Jesus and each other.
One of the best sources of meaningful community is to gather with community.
In these groups, we open ourselves to becoming formed as people
who love God, love all people, and follow Jesus together.
