The purpose of Grow Groups is to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others. Sharing life with a community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren't always easy to find. That's why grow groups exist; they're a place to belong, connect and grow.
Couples, men's, women's, singles, life stages, or blended groups. Get creative, think about people you are already doing life with. Who are you already spending time with, during the week, with whom you could extend, enrich or deepen your relationship? A co-worker, neighbor, fellow sports family, a best friend that you've never had a faith chat with before.
Anytime, really! The HOST helps coordinate the best meeting times for members. If you want to join a group, we will try our best to help pair you up with a group, based on your availability. Many groups meet at church, during the Sunday School Hour (Sundays, 9:15-10:15am).
Grow Groups usually meet in homes, but also in restaurants, coffee shops, or at church. Think creatively here, where are you during the week that you could add a study with people you already gather? Possibly while your children are practicing a sport, or in youth choir. We encourage people to meet in-person, but Zoom is always an option too.
A fall church-wide Grow Group Initiative begins October 13th. We're asking each Grow Group to meet for 6 weeks, to start. Many groups may want to continue meeting into the future, possibly for years. For the first 6 weeks, each group will meet for about 1.5 hours, following a pre-planned study, including video and discussion questions.
A Grow Group is made up of 4-12 people with similar interests, in the same stage of life, or who simply want to learn from one another. Think of people you are already doing "Life" with (friend groups, neighbors, work colleagues, other parents, etc.) and invite them to come along. We invite current small groups to join in this effort, for the 6-week Grow Group Initiative.
Our Grow Group Team will work to place you in a group that best fits your criteria. After registering, you will receive an email with your HOST’s contact information, and helpful resources.
Your group will begin the week of October 13th for a 6-week study on a theme (revealed soon)!
Plan to participate for the 6-weeks, then join us for our Grow Group Celebration on Saturday, January 11th 2025.
