Small Groups
What are they?
We believe that small groups are the place where sustained life change occurs. Small groups are where real life and real issues are discussed. This is the environment where we celebrate the successes and good times of life, as well as comfort one another during the tough and disappointing times. It is a place to be encouraged, equipped, and challenged to become a fully devoted follower of Jesus.
When and where do they meet?
Most of our groups generally meet one evening during the week, and some groups meet on Sundays. Groups normally meet in one of the group member's homes. Sometimes the location is consistent, and sometimes other group members take turns hosting the group meeting at their house.
How often do they meet?
Our groups meet four times a year for six weeks at a time. Small group series generally begin in February, April, August, and November.
How long does a small group series last?
New groups commit to meet for six weeks. Each group series consists of four study weeks, one fellowship week, and one week off.
How long does a group meeting last?
Each small group picks the length of time they will meet. However, most groups meet for an hour and a half to two hours.

What goes on at a group meeting?
Though each group differs in how they do things, many groups have a social time in the beginning, then they transition to a time where they watch a teaching DVD, discuss several study questions, and pray for each other.
What do they study?
Every group is supplied with four lessons that correspond with a weekend teaching series.
