a variety of groups
We're all looking for something a little different when it comes to being in a group, so we offer two types.
Connection Groups
Growth Groups
These groups are short-term (9 weeks) communities designed to help people get to know other people in our church. The nature and subject matter is determined by the group leader or facilitator. But we want to offer helpful and engaging content that gets people experiencing community and later on, considering a Growth Group. They can range from exercise to cooking groups; gaming to study groups.
These groups are long-term (12-24 months) communities designed to help people follow Jesus in every facet of life. Each group will begin with a study called Circle Up. This 4-week study will give practical approaches to building healthy relationships and pursuing spiritual growth so everyone can make the most of their new group. Leaders can decide to use RightNow Media studies, book studies or the previous weekend’s talk discussion guide.
Activity Groups
Men's or Women's Groups
At our church, an activity group is all about connecting with others through a shared interest or hobby—whether it’s hiking, sitting around a fire, cooking, or crafting. It’s a chance to spend time doing something you love while building meaningful relationships. But it’s not just about the activity—it’s about creating space for conversations about faith, life, and growth. Activity groups are a fun and natural way to find community and deepen connections with others who share your passions.
In our men’s or women’s group, it’s all about building meaningful connections with others in a similar stage of life. We come together to encourage one another, grow in our faith, and tackle the challenges we face in a safe, supportive environment. Whether we’re diving into Scripture, sharing stories, or just having honest conversations, it’s a place where you can be real, find community, and take steps toward becoming the person God created you to be.
Group Schedules
We'll launch new groups every January, May and September. We want to make it easy for everyone to find a small group that best fits their stage of life and current needs. So our aim is to have both a Connection Group and Growth Group for each of the following categories: men, women, married couples, singles and young professionals.
Wanna be a group leader?
We’re so glad you’re considering becoming a Group leader! Around here, we believe that life change happens best in the context of community. Groups are at the heart of what we do as a church because we’re convinced that real growth in our relationship with Jesus happens when we intentionally surround ourselves with others who are pursuing the same goal. These groups create space for meaningful connections, spiritual growth, and the kind of authentic community we all need.
That’s why our Group leaders are so important. They set the tone, foster relationships, and truly help carry out our mission of people helping people find and follow Jesus. Because this role is so vital, we’re intentional about selecting leaders who align with our mission and values.
Take a few minutes to review the information below. It outlines what this role looks like, the qualifications we’re looking for, and the expectations we have for our leaders. If, after prayerful consideration, you feel like this might be a great next step for you, we’d love for you to fill out the application to begin the process.

Group Leader Role
Qualifications for a Group Leader
Group leaders are responsible for providing their groups with vision, direction, and support.
As a leader, you set the tone for your group. You help create an environment where people feel welcomed, encouraged, and challenged to grow. Your role isn’t to have all the answers but to keep the group focused on the goal: growing in our faith and building meaningful relationships. Your influence will guide the group toward health and purpose.
Leaders are successful when they are personally growing in the 5G Life:
Grace- Everything starts here. Living in grace means embracing God’s unconditional love for us and extending that same love to others. As a leader, modeling grace creates a culture where people feel safe to be real—because they know they’re loved no matter what.
Groups- It’s not just what you lead; it’s how you live. You can’t lead people where you’re not willing to go yourself. Actively participating in a group—whether as a leader or a member—demonstrates your commitment to community. Relationships are where real growth happens.
Growth- Growing spiritually is about consistently pursuing your relationship with Jesus—through prayer, Scripture, listening to the weekly talks, and practical use. Growth is contagious.
Gifts- God has given each of us unique gifts to make a difference. As a leader, part of your role is to use your gifts to serve your group and help others discover and use theirs. When everyone brings their best, the group thrives.
Generosity- Generosity isn’t just about giving money—it’s about living with an open hand. Be generous with your time, encouragement, and resources. When you model generosity, you inspire your group to live the same way, reflecting the heart of God to the world around them.
When you’re growing in the 5G Life, you’re not just leading a group—you’re leading by example. And that’s the kind of leadership that changes lives.
