Small Groups are how we care for each other.

Summer Semester
June 14 - July 25

At its core, a Small Group is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. We all need each other and that’s why we have Small Groups. Whether you're new to groups, leading for the first time, or a seasoned leader, there's a place for you!

Small Groups

Small Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Small Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.

Small Groups are where we find community.

Small Groups are where we build friendships.

Leading a Group

Leading a Small Group isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others by giving them a place to connect. Hosting a group is simple—choose a topic that interests you and select a time and location to meet with others to share it. We give you essential tools to make your Small Group successful through Leader Training. We believe people’s lives are changed one semester at a time by moving one step toward Christ, and as a Small Group leader you get to play an important role in that process.
