Groups
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person fails, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”
ECCLESIASTES 4:9-10 (NLT)
What is a Group?
A Group is made up of people who share similar interests, are in the same stage of life, or want to learn from each other. People gather for all sorts of reasons whether it is playing a sport, spending time at the park, having lunch during the workday, or studying the Bible together. The point is not so much what you meet about, but that you are regularly meeting with people and living in a community as God designed you to do.
Why do Groups Exist?
God doesn’t intend for us to follow Jesus in isolation. We are meant to live transformed lives in relationship with other people. Groups have one simple purpose—to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in community with others and only then can we experience the full life He intends for us. Meaningful relationships can be hard to find, and that’s why our groups exist — to make life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
Why should I join a Group?
God uses community to bring support, encouragement, and growth into our lives. Even when you might not realize you need it, your group will quickly become a place where others don’t just know your name, but care about what is happening in your life and want to support you in your spiritual journey.
When and Where?
Groups meet throughout the year in three semesters. Winter/Spring, Summer, and Fall. New groups start each semester making it easy for you to get involved at any time. Groups meet in a variety of places like homes, parks, restaurants, coffee shops, and office buildings. Check out the group directory for your campus to find out more.
