Virtual Home Groups:

Connect 🔹 Grow 🔹 Thrive

At Rhema Christian Ministries, Virtual Home Groups (VHGs) are central to how we build community, grow in God's Word, and care for one another.

On the first Wednesday of each month, the entire VHG community comes together for a teaching session led by Pastor Orim Meikle. These group meetings offer opportunities to discuss, apply, and grow deeper in the month's teaching alongside fellow believers.

Whether you're new to Rhema or have been with us for years, VHGs provide a place where faith grows, friendships deepen, and lives are strengthened through authentic Christian community.

The Whole Life Project Initiative:
