Small Groups

GS Small Groups are a welcoming community of 8-12 people who come together regularly to connect, learn, and support each other in our journey with Jesus. In these groups, you'll find a space to share your experiences, dive into meaningful discussions, and grow spiritually. We focus on building strong relationships, praying for one another, read and discuss Scripture together, and finding ways to serve both within our church and the broader community.

Maybe the question should be... WHY NOT join a small group?!?

Here are just a few benefits of joining a small group:

You will make long-lasting connections and foster deeper friendships.

You will gain a deeper understanding of the Bible as you discuss and apply God’s word in community.

You will pray for others and have others praying for you.

You will experience true belonging. You bring the real YOU to a small group, along with the gifts God has given you, and encounter others who are doing the same thing.

GS Small Groups meet on and off campus, almost every day of the week, day and night, to accommodate a wide variety of schedules.

Small Groups meet weekly, with sessions generally lasting about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and they typically run on five- to six-week cycles throughout the year.

Regular people who love Jesus, have a passion to serve Him in this way, and attend annual training each year to keep their facilitation skills sharp! We rely on the Holy Spirit to lead us as we study the Word together, with the hope that group members will eventually step up to help lead and facilitate their groups or even start and lead new ones.

Some groups coordinate child care, others don’t. We leave the responsibility to the groups and their leaders to plan out their own child care needs.
