About Becoming Groups
Becoming Groups serve as a place for our church body to gather outside of our Sunday and Tuesday services to seek the Lord–deepening our walk–and to connect deeply with one another.
This season, groups will gather to discuss the content of the previous Sunday’s sermon, while others will be going through a Bible study, or DNA of a Leader.
Group Types
We have several types of groups available, including:
Advance Young Adults | College aged and young professionals in their 20’s
Open Adults Groups | Mixed groups for men and women ages 20 and up
Men’s Groups
Women’s Groups
DNA of a Leader

Juan Rios was born and raised in Chicago. In 2010, his daughter was invited to CT’s Kids Week of Adventure. The following Sunday, Juan and his wife Zoraida attended CT with their daughter. Both Juan and Zoraida accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior the following October! Juan’s journey into ministry began shortly thereafter, as he and his wife started serving at CT. Juan came on staff at CT full-time in 2016. He has served in a variety of roles, including as the Facilities Director and Welcome Ministries Overseer.
His heart for Becoming Groups is to see people connect to the body of Christ in a deeper way, as they intentionally build relationships with a small group of people. He loves the ability to pray and speak life into others in a meaningful way through Becoming Groups. Especially in this season, he sees Becoming Groups as a vital way for others to remain connected and full of the hope of Christ.
