Small Groups are part of our Spiritual Growth Ministry, which help adults move toward a Christ-Centered life, in partnership with the Holy Spirit, so they may gain the full life that Christ has for them. We encourage every adult to pursue a path of spiritual growth (for more information check out our Grow in Christ page). Since Jesus Christ demonstrated that supportive relationships and intentional growth are critical for spiritual development, the Spiritual Growth Ministry provides Community Groups and Growth Opportunities in each area of the ministry.

Small Groups are groups where we build friendships as we share, study the Bible, pray, and serve together for several months or more. Most groups are ongoing and meet weekly at homes throughout the area or at the church, although we have groups that meet bi-weekly or for a set time to offer options to meet different needs. All small groups meet the purpose of connecting each adult into intentional relationships for Biblical encouragement, belonging, support and spiritual development.

Our groups within Spiritual Growth Ministry are called Community Groups because authentic community is a high value at Faith Community Church. A Community Group is a group of people from Faith Community Church that connects relationally to grow spiritually. Groups vary in length (6 weeks to ongoing), curriculum, composition (young adult, men, women, couples, mixed: singles, couples, and different ages), and progressive accountability (from casual involvement to an ongoing commitment to grow spiritually).
Small groups are tailored to meet your needs either by geographic location, topic, or stage of life. Click the section that you’re interested in to fill out an interest form or visit the Grow & Serve Center on Sunday mornings.

Since every person has a unique relationship with Jesus Christ and may be at a different stage of the discipleship journey, the Spiritual Growth Ministry provides a menu of growth opportunities to help each adult identify and take their next step of spiritual development. These opportunities are single-session seminars, events, or accountability partners. We encourage everyone to choose a next step and report their progress to their Community Group for encouragement.

Our book club meets on the first Tuesday of every month, December through June, at 7 pm at the church in room 237. You can join for one month or several months. Please register online or stop by the Grow & Serve Center on Sunday Mornings.
