Groups start the last week of September,
and run through the last week in November.
Here’s how they work, generally:
- Groups run on the semester format: Fall, Winter and Spring
- Groups are made up of about 12 adults + children
- Groups typically meet for 1.5 hours each gathering
- The standard curriculum is a bible study and discussion based around the Sunday worship service
- Groups are built around three guiding values:
- BELONG- Every meeting starts with a time of just “belonging” together- having a snack, and getting to know one another. The bible calls these kinds of relationships “fellowship”
- GROW- This happens through a bible study based on the worship service and time to pray for one another and the church
- SERVE- Groups are to take seriously the needs of one another and their neighbors
- Groups are also encouraged to schedule some fun time together out side of the meeting, or to plan a group project/event
