January begins our Winter/Spring Next Steps Season! Over the next few weeks we will feature groups, events, and care ministries available this season for you to make the most of every opportunity Blue Ridge offers to get into community. Our goal is for you to get plugged in by finding your next step. 

Each campus will have Next Steps representatives available around the info center who can introduce you to groups and other areas where you can find connection. They are ready to answer questions you may have, point you to the right group for you, and even sign you up. 

Step into community this season!
