Small Groups
Get Connected & Grow in Faith!
Our small groups offer a safe space to build healthy relationships and grow your faith. You’ll be encouraged to live out the truths you discover in the Bible and experience care and prayer in an authentic community.
Something for Everyone: Find a community tailored to you, with groups specifically for men, women, young adults, couples, and more
Flexible Formats: Join us in person, online, or hybrid.
Semester-Based: Most groups meet Fall (Sep–Dec) and Spring (Feb–May).
Year-Round Options: Ongoing groups available, such as Monday Night Bible Study.
Groups have 3 main ingredients that we call the ABCs:
APPLY THE BIBLE
We take what we learn on Sunday in church and apply it to our daily lives when we meet in Groups.
Think of it this way – what we discover in ROWS… we discuss in CIRCLES!
Studying God’s Word, wrestling with the text, and applying it to our lives is done best in the community.
BEAR BURDENS
Groups are designed to be open and safe environments where you can be vulnerable.
In a Group, you can both give and receive loving care and prayer for the trials of life.
The Bible calls us to “love one another” and that’s what we do in Groups!
CHANCE TO SERVE
Each small group participates in a serving opportunity, such as a food drive or preparing a meal for those in need. There are many opportunities to serve. Together we can reach more people for Jesus.
