What is a Small Group?
Small Groups typically consist of 12-18 people that meet in comfortable environments for 8-12 weeks.

Most groups meet weekly and go through some sort of book or dvd study and share some great food together.

What about children?
We love families and believe in the life changing opportunity that Small Groups provide. Currently, our adult Small Groups are not designed for childcare. However, our desire is to remove any obstacle from parents that would like to join a group. For those with a need, we will be offering childcare reimbursement. After each group meeting, parents may choose the option to fill out and submit a childcare reimbursement form to the church. The church will then reimburse parents at a specified hourly childcare rate. Forms and specifics are located at the Information table at the back of the church.

What if the Small Group I join doesn’t fit me?
There is no obligation to stay in a Small Group, but we do suggest that you try a group for a couple of weeks before trying another group.

What do Small Groups study?
Each group chooses their own scripture based study. Groups may select a sermon series, specific Bible study, Christian literature, or relevant life issue.
