Living in Community
Small Groups exist to help people take their next step in their discipleship journey with Jesus within a group context. Small Groups are a key aspect of our church body and are about doing life together. Walking closely with a group of people allows us to better care for and sharpen each other as we point one another to Jesus. Small Groups are facilitated by leaders who are equipped to disciple their groups and cultivate an environment which each member can grow in their walk with God.
Our Small Groups operate in seasons and our fall launch will be in August 2026. Please visit the “Events” page to sign up for our Fall Group Leader Training Dinner, required for all those interested in leading a Fall Group.

Comer's Story
Blended Families Small Group Leader
In this season, we've come to see that God has not only shaped our story as a blended family, but given it purpose. Walking through the challenges of merging households, building trust, and creating a new foundation has become a testimony of His faithfulness. For a time, we served in youth ministry at our church, a role we deeply valued. However, through prayer, we felt led to step back so our own children could grow in their faith independently, without feeling like we were a barrier or constant lens. We recognized that our first ministry is our home, and creating that space for them was necessary. Through that obedience, God made a new calling clear.
As the number of blended families continues to rise, we see a growing need for connection, encouragement, community and biblical support. We felt called to lead a small group in our home for blended families in our community. A place where people can be honest about their challenges, find practical guidance, celebrate successes and build faith-centered relationships. We believe God uses real stories like ours to bring hope and healing.

Ken's Story
Mighty Men Small Group Leader
I had always been thinking about leading a Men’s Group because of the growth we’ve seen in young families. I knew that generation of men needed to get together and when the Lord put it on my heart, Jaclyn challenged and pushed me to start a Group this Fall and I took the jump this Spring. We’ve seen more friendships form and they continue to form those connections on Sunday mornings. Lots of men need other men to talk to, and it was my hope to bring opportunities to bring others together. It doesn’t matter if there’s 3 guys or 16 guys, we have great conversations.
We’re starting to open up to each other and have seen some accountability start to form. I’m really looking forward to what’s in store for this Group and eventually a Men’s Ministry.
