Circles are better than rows.
We weren't made to get everything we need from “coming to a church service”.
At Dalton First we believe that circles are better than rows. Biblical community is best found in small, biblically based, relational environments where mature disciples can be made. Classes and Sunday school are the primary way we accomplish this.
