Do I need to have some Bible knowledge to join a Small Group?

No Bible experience is necessary to join a Small Group. This is a great opportunity to learn and grow.

What happens during a virtual Small Group?

On Sundays, the majority of the time you will see a slide with few questions for discussion about the sermon. Please feel free to take a screenshot, photo, or write those questions down. Normally, the group will catch up and see how everyone is doing and then share the discussion questions or what they got from the message and how one may apply it in their life.

You may be asked if you have any prayer requests so the group can pray for you. Just as with our services, we feel that being engaging in the group is the best way to grow. Don’t worry about being wrong or making a mistake. We are all there to grow and we understand everyone is at a different place.

We want Small Groups to be a safe place where you can authentically connect with God and with others. We want you to feel comfortable to be yourself and not feel like you have to be perfect to be accepted. They normally last from an hour to two hours, depending on the group. Don’t feel bad if you need to leave early. We ask that you communicate with the Small Group leader out of courtesy.
