Groups FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: WHAT HAPPENS AT A SMALL GROUP MEETING?
A small group looks like friends eating at a restaurant, teams playing softball, or people studying a Christian book or the Bible. In its basic form, a small group is a community of people engaged in biblical fellowship and committed to grow spiritually.
Q: HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL SMALL GROUP STAY TOGETHER?
Most small groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.
Q: IS CHILDCARE AVAILABLE?
Childcare availability varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if it is available.
Q: WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE THE FIRST GROUP I TRY?
Don’t give up! Not every group will be a good fit. We encourage you to select a few groups you think might interest you and contact the leaders to find out more about the group. You can then try out a few before committing. We want to see you connected in the group tailor-made for you!
Q: HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR A GROUP?
Once you have narrowed down a group(s) that you would like to try, fill out the registration form and the leader will be notified that you’ve signed up.
