SMALL
GROUPS
CONNECT, BE KNOWN, GROW
God designed us to be in community with others.
Small Groups create an environment where people can connect with others, be authentically known, and experience growth and life change through genuine relationships.
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
Hebrews 10:23-25 NLT

After clicking Join a Group, you will be brought to our Church Center directory of Small Groups. You can filter groups based on needs you have, such as; day of week, frequency, type of group, age and more. You can even use the map to find a group that is close to where you live.

It’s perfectly fine to try out a few different groups until you find the one that feels like the right fit for you. We encourage exploring, but don’t overwhelm yourself by joining too many groups at once. Additionally, many groups have limited space, and we want to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate. Stick to a couple that seem like a good fit and give them a shot.

That’s okay! Just communicate with your leader so they know you won’t be there. We do miss you when you cannot attend, but we do understand that things come up. Please note that if you miss 3 weeks in a row and do not communicate or respond to your leader, you might be removed from the group.

Childcare availability for Small Groups depends on the specific group. If childcare is provided, the Small Group leader will indicate the details in the group listing. If you have specific questions about childcare for a particular group, it's best to reach out to the group leader directly.
