MORE DETAILS & FAQ’s:
COMMUNITY GROUPS: Community groups typically meet weekly during the Fall and Spring semesters. They are led by individuals or small teams who host the gatherings and facilitate discussions. Gatherings consist of discussion & prayer centered around a scripture passage or a topic decided upon by the leaders.
COURSES: Courses are shorter in duration, usually ranging from four to eight weeks. They typically use a specific curriculum or book, and may include weekly scripture study or follow-up work to be done between sessions. Courses meet at various times throughout the year.
CHILDCARE: We’ve found that groups and courses typically work best with adults only, so childcare is handled at the family level. However, some community groups have family meal nights during the semester when children are included.
CONNECT: Community groups are open to join anytime, although scheduling varies from group to group, so be sure to connect with leaders for up to date information on group meeting schedules.
