Growth Groups: Take Your Next Step

Growth Groups: Take Your Next Step

One of the most effective ways to build relationships and grow in our faith is by joining a Growth Group.  We offer a variety of groups that meet at a variety of times and places. Let us know you’d like to join a Growth Group by filling out a Connection Card in a worship service or emailing Pastor John for more information.

HOW BIG IS A GROUP AND WHEN DO GROUPS MEET?

Around 10-12 people typically will be part of a group that meet regularly to pursue spiritual growth and grow in healthy, Christ-centered relationships. Each group determines what day, time, and place is best for their group.

There are a wide variety of groups at Cross of Christ from stage of life to areas of interest to neighborhood-based (location) groups.

HOW DOES A TYPICAL GROWTH GROUP MEETING FLOW?

Most groups try to keep their meetings to around 2 hours total to respect everyone’s time.  Here is a sample flow of the group meeting:

  • Hang out (about 10 minutes)
  • DVD/Questions/Discussion (80 minutes)
  • Close and hang out some more (10 minutes)

WHO LEADS THE GROUPS?

Your Growth Group leader is a regular person just like you who attends Cross of Christ. Many of our Group Leaders are long-time group members who love helping people like you get connected into a great group!

WHAT IS THE TOPIC FOR GROUPS?

Sometimes groups pick their own topics and sometimes they follow a study that we are doing church-wide.  Let us or your Group Leader know if you have any recommendations…we’ll check it out!
