What is a Community Group?

A Community Group is 8-16 people who get together weekly to connect and study God's word. A trained leader guides each group. Meetings last for an hour and a half and includes dessert and plenty of time with friends. At the end of each semester, you will have the choice of staying in the same group, trying a new group or even taking a break. Most groups stay together throughout the entire year. Community Groups do not officially meet during the summer. However, plenty of groups meet for summer fellowship activities.

What will we study?

Most of the groups study the previous weekend’s message. These “Sermon-based” Community Groups are the place where you get to roll up your sleeves and discuss how the sermon applies to real life. Each week there will be a series of Bible passages and questions on the back of the sermon note sheet to study before the meeting. Our three other areas of focus are based on a topic, book of the Bible or curriculum.

How do I choose a group?

We’ve found that groups do best when members share a common station-in-life and/or interest. When selecting a group, we recommend you choose a group based on its leader-host team and station-in-life, rather than its location. In the end, you’ll find it’s worth the drive!

A word of advice: Groups fill up fast and the sooner you register the more likely it is that you will get your first choice.
