What’s Happening in Open Arms Microchurches – July 2025
Looking to connect, grow in your faith, and build real friendships? Microchurches at Open Arms Community Church in Bradford, PA are where discipleship meets everyday life. This July, our microchurches are gathering all over the region — in homes, parks, shops, and our church building — to pray, learn, serve, and do life together.
Whether you’re brand new or ready to go deeper, there’s a group for you. Here’s what’s coming up:
🔥 What Are Microchurches?
Microchurches are small, disciple-making communities that meet outside Sunday services to live out the mission of Jesus together. Some groups gather around prayer and worship, others around shared interests or life stages — but all are focused on relationship, growth, and service.
