Small Group Ministry
What is Small Group Ministry?
Small Group Ministry is where 8-10 people meet in a committed group with the intention of establishing deeper connections with each other and with God. The groups meet once a month from October to June and are led by trained lay members of the congregation. The group meetings run 1.5 hours and include a check-in, a short topic reading, discussion of the topic, and closing prayer.
This year our Small Groups will focus on the WHY WE WORSHIP theme that is guiding our Creative Worship and other church programs. Each month we’ll focus on a different aspect of our worship and how it connects with our faith journey!

Why should I join a group?
- Allows for deeper conversations that we can’t always have in team meetings or during coffee hour.
- Provides a relaxing and safe place to explore and ask questions about issues of faith and life.
- Facilitates the building of friendships and creates an atmosphere of mutual encouragement, support, and prayer.
- Participants feel a greater connection to one another and to God and are FIVE TIMES less likely to drift away from the church.
