Grow Groups
Growing and going with our community in our community.
Grow Groups
We believe life and growth happens best in community. Join us this fall in grow groups as we gather in community around God’s word and live on mission.
Grow Groups are groups of believers from all ages and stages of life that gather outside the church walls to do life together.
*What you need to know:
- Grow Groups last 8 weeks, with each group meeting together once a week on a day and time that works best for their individual group.
- Some groups may meet at the church, but they are free to meet anywhere (homes, lake, restaurant, etc.)
- Kids are not only welcomed but encouraged. Groups with kids are typically paired with other families with kids of similar age. But groups will still be diverse.
- No books are needed for purchase
- Each group will have 1-2 leaders to facilitate group meetings
- Each group will have a host or 2 (people who provide a space for their group to meet)
- When groups meet, they will talk and work through portions of 1 John together each week. Your group leader will be equipped and trained with the study method we will use. After your group meets, we encourage each group to stay, fellowship, or even share a meal together (a shared table is a shared life).
- Are outsiders and unbelievers welcomed to join your group? Absolutely.
And just like last year, at the end our 8 weeks each group will have a serve project that they pick on their own. The project must: be local, involve people, and include a Gospel conversation.
Lastly, if you or someone you know wants to be a part of a grow group but don't feel comfortable reading or talking about the bible it's okay, we promise! This year's groups were design with them in mind.
