Small Groups are the core of our Women's Bible Study.
Small groups provide a smaller circle, a place to connect with other
women, and a time to discuss and digest the rich Bible Study material.
Discussion of the study and God's Word results in shared insight and
understanding, and the care of each member of a small group builds
accountability and lasting friendships.
The types of small groups offered are:
Bible Study Small Group This is a blended group of 12-14 women with a designated leader(s). Study groups meet for discussion of study material and to support one another's growth in Christ. Groups are diverse, dynamic and often result in great new friendships. Each Bible Study small group meets weekly throughout the study year, and may occasionally share in gatherings outside Bible Study.
Looping Looping with a small group provides the opportunity for a particular group to remain together for one addiitonal year with the same leader(s), if the majority of the group is interested, are flexible in study choice, and schedules allow. Looping allows new friendships to deepen and personal accountability to grow.
Soul Purpose This is a smaller group of 6-8 women without a designated leader, who desire deep accountability. Every member of the group shares in facilitating the study material and caring for the group members. There is an expectation that study work will be completed and a commitment to regular attendance. Soul Purpose aims for a two-year commitment.
Affinity Affinity groups are small groups based on a unique season in life, sharing in the common bond of the journey. These groups are led by a designated leader(s). Optional choices for affinity groups include:
- Young Moms: meeting Thursday morning
- Senior Ladies: meeting Thursday morning
- Home School: meeting Wednesday morning
- Single Moms: meeting Tuesday evening

"People join small groups for many reasons—to know a few people well, to
learn, to grow spiritually—- but the single most influential aspect
of any healthy small group experience is care. When we care for and
are cared for by others, we are practicing the heart of the gospel. In
fact, groups that learn how to care for one another in word and deed
usually wind up having a deep and lasting impact not only on each
other, but on entire churches and communities."
