316 Small Groups

Each of our adult small groups consist of six to twelve people that meet weekly for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. They meet on various days of the week in host homes around the area and each weekly small group usually goes from 1 1/2  to two hours.  There's bound to be a small group close to where you live.

How do I get connected into a small group?  You can sign up for a small group at the small groups table before or after each worship service on Sunday.  We ask that each person sign up so that our small group hosts and facilitators know to be expecting you.  Our small group hosts will want to introduce themselves to you and usually will do so with an email or phone call after receiving your sign up.  They will also be able to answer any additional questions you may have about small groups. 

What goes on at a group meeting?  Though each group differs in how they do things, we usually follow a simple outline that consists of Welcome/Worship/Word/Witness.  The 'welcome' time is a time for breaking the ice and getting caught up with one another.  The 'worship' time is designated for prayer.  The 'word' is the specific study of the Bible,  and the time of 'witness' is when the group brainstorms, plans, and strategizes opportunities of outreach and service projects to others outside the group.

Is chilcare provided for small groups?  Yes, childcare is provided at each of our small groups.  Our childcare providers are a minimum of 12 years old and are approved by the small group members.  The childcare provider does not have to be a part of 316 Church but must be known by at least one of the group members before being allowed to provide care.
