2020 Spring Small Groups

WHAT ARE SMALL GROUPS?

Small groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why small groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you. Small Groups meet in homes, coffee shops, libraries, and parks around Houston. They’re a great way to meet new people while growing in your faith.

FOR LEADERS

Leading a Small Group isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others by giving them a place to connect. Hosting a group is simple—choose a topic or activity that interests you and select a time and location to meet with others to share it. We believe people’s lives are changed one session at a time by moving one step toward Christ, and as a Small Group leader, you get to play an important role in that process.

If you’re leading for the first time, make plans to attend our Small Group Leader Training at Step Four of our Growth Track, on the fourth Sunday of every month.
