What is a Small Group?
Small Groups are not Bible studies, prayer groups, or social cliques; they are the catalyst for a life changed by God and the means by which authentic discipleship is lived out at the Vine. The typical Small Group has about 7 - 12 people in it and meets once a week, usually in someone's home. Small Groups are the place where real, life long friendships are formed, the place where the Bible is discussed and applied in a non-threatening atmosphere, and where questions can be asked and stories told. They are the place where it is safe to be yourself, where you can receive support and encouragement right where you are in life, and where we discover and take risks as we grow into the people God has made us to be.
Who are Small Groups for?
Simply put, these groups are for everyone. Small Groups are for the members of the church and for those who have never even set foot inside our door; they are for those who have been following Jesus for decades and for those who are just curious and not sure what to believe; they are for college students and retired grandparents and everyone in between. If you have a pulse, there is a Small Group for you. But how do you find the right group for you? Here's what we've found works best for most people:
Step 1: Check out our Small Group info at the Small Group wall in the Vine lobby, use the group finder tool, or pick a night below that works for you.
Step 2: Call the leader of the groups that interest you for more info.
Step 3: Try out a couple of groups to find the one that best fits you.
Step 4: Attend the group of your choice consistently.
