Small Groups Are How You Become A Part Of Our Church.
What are our Goals from Small Groups
Everyone develops deeper relationships with mature believers. (Hopefully spending time outside of church together)
You get the opportunity to meet new people outside of your circle of relationships.
Each person learns how to read and study their bible.
Everyone gets an opportunity to pray for others, be prayed for by others.
To see mature fruits developed: confession, repentance, correction, intercession, sharing experiences, encouragement.
Develop all of our future leaders and serve team members exclusively through Small Groups.
If someone feels called to teach, preach, worship, or lead a ministry, it is through committing consistently
to small groups that we will be able to develop them for the call that God has for them.
Minister to the people of God more consistently and personally.
This will become our pastoral care network. Instead of one pastor trying to minister to more than 100 people,
we will have leaders within our small groups who provide personal ministry and pastoral care to 12 people.
\Which Group Do I Join?
That’s up to you. If you know someone or you came with someone, you're welcome to join them. We’re all reading the same book & chapter of the Bible each week, then coming together on Wednesdays to discuss it in small groups. You choose which group to join. After just a few weeks, you’ll start to feel right at home.
Will These Groups Be Permanent?
You're free to choose the group that fits you best! We just ask that you stick with it until the current study wraps up (4–6 weeks). Groups are flexible, so you can switch when a new series begins!We aim for a balance of flexibility and consistency. That’s why we ask you to stick with the group that you choose for a little while. Meeting regularly with the same people helps you feel more at ease and naturally builds meaningful relationships.While consistency is important, we also value diverse and healthy relationships. From time to time, we’ll mix up groups for a short season to give everyone the chance to connect with more people and build new friendships.
What Can I Expect From Small Groups?
Each week, we'll spend time getting to know one another through conversation, prayer, and Bible discussion. Everyone is encouraged to read a chapter on their own (outside of church), writing down any observations or questions. That way, when we meet on Wednesdays, we’re all ready to share and talk through it. These aren’t teaching sessions—they’re group discussions where everyone is invited to participate. Our leaders are there to help guide balanced conversations, so it’s not just one or two voices dominating. If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to. Our goal is to create space for everyone who’s willing to share and ask questions.
What About My Kids?
We have a great youth ministry that meets every Wednesday during our small group time. We also have a nursery and kids ministry. We're asking everyone to pitch in and serve our nursery and our kids ministry so that no one misses out on being part of our small groups. If enough of us join the rotation we will only serve once every other month, and everyone—kids and adults—gets the most out of the experience.
