Common Questions About Small Groups

WHAT HAPPENS AT A SMALL GROUP MEETING?

You can expect to connect with others in life giving conversation and request prayer. The topic of group conversation is typically based on the Sunday message, but the group itself can take place around a number of different activities, interests, locations, and/or serve projects. 

HOW OFTEN DOES A SMALL GROUP MEET?

Our Small Groups meet for three semesters a year—Fall, Winter, and Spring. During the semester, most groups meet once a week. Small Groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life, so even if you can’t attend every meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.

WHERE DO SMALL GROUPS MEET?

Our small groups meet in-person for the first meeting, and then transition to a mixture of online and in-person meetings for the remainder of the semester.

HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL SMALL GROUP STAY TOGETHER?

Most Small Groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.

WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE THE FIRST GROUP I TRY?

The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you.
