What are Focused Groups?
Small groups have always been a large part of who we are. We believe true life transformation happens through relationships as people commit to reading the Word together, praying together, and showing up for one another. And yet in this season of isolation, groups have become even more vital to our community.
In preparation for our Small Group Connect coming at the beginning of March, we’re offering Short-Term Focused Groups in January and February. These Short-Term Focused Groups are only 3-8 weeks long and are designed to cover specific areas of spiritual growth. We’ll be covering topics like mental health and the gospel, prayer, racial reconciliation and even providing a group specifically designed for Health Care Workers facing grief and trauma in this season. These environments will begin with a time of teaching and then break into smaller groups for discussion, application, and prayer.
For those of you who aren’t a part of a small group yet, this is a great opportunity to dip your toes into the small group environment for the first time without a long-term commitment. For those of you who are already a part of a small group, this is a chance to spend a few weeks focusing in on a specific area you want to grow in – you can join on your own or invite your entire small group to come with you!
After our Short-Term Focused Groups wrap up, we’ll be kicking off our normal spring small group season. Join us on March 7 for our Small Group Connect to check out our on-going small group options and also for the launch of Rooted – which you’ll be hearing more about as we get closer.
