GROWING
We are convinced that life change happens best in smaller groups, where people can experience and process life together in community with others. To us, groups are not merely a program or an event. They are about incorporating discipleship into the flow of our everyday lives by sharing life with others. It is where the thoughts, concepts and ideas taught in the large environments like Sunday morning worship gatherings take on flesh and blood and are applied in our daily lives. It is a vehicle for learning, and also to put into practice what we learn by being in community with others.
Connect Groups
Meet new friends in a low-commitment environment. Connect groups meet on a less frequent basis, and anyone is welcome to drop in.
Learning Groups
Join a short-term group focused around a study topic. Most learning groups run for 6-8 weeks and meet at the church building.
Life Groups
Investing in one another over the long-haul of life through deep relationships, Bible study, prayer, and serving together.
We know you have a lot of questions when deciding to take your next step with a group. We have compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions, but if you have any other questions, please give us a call or fill out the interest form below.
We all need community, but it can look different at various points in your life. Your unique interests, availability, and commitment level all factor into what your next step should look like. So, we have a variety of ways to take your next step in following Jesus together in community.
Consider how much time you have, and how ready you are to commit. Connect groups are a great next step for those just getting started. Learning groups are a short-term commitment, but at a deeper relational level. Life groups are our favorite because this is where you grow the most. If you are ready to commit to sharing life with a small group for the long-term (we suggest at least 12 months) fill out our GROUP INTEREST FORM below and we will get in touch.
Numbers can vary, but they are normally between 8 to 12 people.
They typically meet at a group member’s home, but some meet at the church.
Some are set up by topic of interest, but most of them are divided by stage of life. There are groups for young married couples, married with children, married without children, empty nesters, men’s, women’s, and general groups (mixed stages).
Each group is autonomous to decide how they will arrange childcare. If your family or your group needs it, the church offers reimbursement of childcare costs for use during your Group meeting. You can submit a request by completing the Childcare Reimbursement Form.
Personal relationships are always the most popular way. Ask some people you already know about their Group and see if you can join in. You can also fill out the INQUIRY FORM below and we will do our best to get you connected to a group that fits you.
If you are interested to host or lead, please let us know through the GROUP INQUIRY FORM and we can arrange a meeting to talk about your experience, giftings, goals, and the best place to get you started.
