God uses other people to both enrich our lives and grow our faith.
We’ve made it easy for you to find a group of people to share life and faith together. We have groups for men, women, married couples, newlyweds, empty nesters, and young adults.
Here’s how you can join a group:
- Find a group that’s right for you from a list of available groups. Groups registration occurs twice each year in January and August.
- Register for your selected group online.
- Meet your new group at your first group meeting.
Join a group and see why we say that life is better connected.

Community Groups are small groups of eight to twelve individuals of the same gender or five to seven married couples who meet in homes or online.
Groups commit to share life and faith together. A great group includes time for both relational connection and studies that challenge members to grow spiritually. A typical group meeting will consist of social time, study, and prayer.
Groups typically meet for one year, about three times per month, for 1.5 to 2 hours. Most groups take breaks during the holidays and summer.
Most groups meet in homes and are formed based on the leader’s location. The majority of groups meet in areas close to the church. Once group registration opens, you can filter by area of town to find a group close to you.
We offer Community Groups for married couples, men, and women. Groups are available for various stages of life, with morning and evening options.
We also offer exploring faith groups.
Group members will need to make arrangements for childcare during group meetings. We provide a financial supplement (at a predetermined rate) for childcare expenses incurred to attend regular group meetings.
Group registration happens online twice a year, in January and August. When it opens, you’ll have the opportunity to register for the group that best fits your schedule.

Every Group needs a leader.
We’ve heard Andy say many times, “The value of a life is always measured by how much of it was given away.” It’s true that, when we serve others, we find purpose and fulfillment. We want you to experience that kind of life. One way you can do that is by becoming a group leader. We’ll give you the rest of the tools you need.
And the best part is, taking this step could be one of the biggest ways your own faith grows.
If leading a group sounds like it might be the next step for you, we’d love to have a conversation with you. Apply for group leadership to get started.
