Experience Christian community in a small group to pray, learn, grow, and serve together. This discipline tends to move from organized classes to organic groups as we grow in our faith. No one’s path is exactly the same, and doesn’t always flow in a straight line.

If you are ready to go deeper in your faith, consider becoming a part of a Wesley Group or starting one soon.

A Wesley group is made up of 6 to 14 people who come together to build relationships through encouragement, accountability, guidance, and prayer so that all members experience life transformation through Christ. These groups are patterned after John Wesley’s class meetings.

 

Why meet in a Wesley Group?

God designed people for community. Each of us has a desire "to belong" somewhere.  It is in belonging with others that we better understand and live out the Christian life.  It is also in close community life that we take care of each other’s needs as we serve each other in love and faithfulness.

 

What do Wesley Groups do?

Wesley groups practice four things together: 

1.  Create close community and fellowship with one another.

2.  Study the Bible and help each other apply it to their daily lives. 

3.  Participate in serving each other and in mission to the community.

4.  Pray for the needs of friends, neighbors, the church, and each other.

 

Where do Wesley Groups meet?

Wesley groups can meet in a member's home or in the church building.  We are also always supportive of individuals who are interested in starting a new group in their community.

How often do Wesley Groups meet?

Many Wesley groups meet every week for 1 to 2 hours, (although some of our groups meet every other week).

What Is the Time Commitment?

All groups begin with an initial commitment of nine months. At the end of that time, the group will evaluate where it is at and decide on next steps.

Who Leads a Wesley Group?

Each group will have two co-facilitators who lead the group. These facilitators will equip others in the group to share in leadership of studies, service, prayer, and fellowship.

Are all Wesley Groups the same?

No. A lot of groups may be similar, but no two groups will be exactly the same. Each group will consist of people at different stages in their faith. Each group will grow together and individually at a different pace. Some groups will begin with a deep level of sharing, and others will grow together from a basic starting point.
