About Becoming Groups
Becoming Groups are an essential element of our church as they extend camaraderie and spiritual connections beyond the church’s walls. These groups are designed as intimate gatherings, occurring in four sessions throughout the year, the number of weeks for each session may vary.
Group Types
Becoming Groups happen in distinct avenues:
Interest Groups | Cultivate an environment where participants take part in common interests with each other. Interest Groups find joy in everyday activities, uniting members through shared passions and recreations on a weekly basis.
Examples: runners hitting the trail, mothers hosting playdates, golfers putting on the green
Equipping Groups | Offer a platform for believers to delve deeper into their spiritual journey. Equipping Groups focus on biblical principals and how they integrate into daily living. Participants are strengthened in their faith and understanding of God’s Word.
Examples: Bible studies, DNA of a Leader, and topical book studies
Soul Care Groups | Offer a refuge and compassionate mutual support for individuals facing personal challenges.
Examples: Addiction, Fear, Relationships, Grief and loss, etc.
Hangouts | One time gatherings focused on building connection through fun and casual hangouts throughout the city.
Examples: beach days, attending sporting events, motorcycle rides
