Groups
You can’t be a lone Christian! It’s impossible to grow closer to Jesus and mature in your faith without others there to do life with you. Sign up to be a part of a community group or DNA group today.
Community Groups
These groups of 12-16 people meet in homes throughout Roanoke on a weekly basis. We discuss the sermon from Sunday and focus on applying it to our lives, while building authentic community together.

DNA Groups
DNA stands for Discipleship, Nurture, and Accountability. These groups of 2-4 people are same-gender and similar life-stage so you can go deeper in fighting sin and growing in your spiritual maturity.

Who can join community groups?
Anyone who wants to grow in their relationship with God and other believers!
Our community groups are open to anyone on any given week. They typically consist of 10-15 people. Our groups are based on night-of-the-week you can attend, and location in the city. We don’t have specific demographics we place together. God has created his church to display unity through diversity!
Who can join DNA groups?
Anyone who is a member of our church, and who wants to hold others accountable and be held accountable by other believers!
Our pastors will place you in a group of 2-3 other people who are your same gender and in a similar life stage. If you’re ready to grow even deeper into your relationship with Jesus, and you’re ready to be open and honest with your struggles, and you’re ready to pray for other believers with intentionality, then a DNA group is for you.
What's a typical community group meeting like?
Community group meetings are once a week in someone’s home for about an hour and a half. They’re sermon-based discussion groups. That means we spend some time catching up and hanging out; then spend the majority of our time discussing the previous week’s sermon. Watching/listening to the sermon isn’t required, but it helps aid the discussion! Our big win every week is to build authentic community with one another around discussing the Bible.
What's a typical DNA group meeting like?
DNA groups meet at least every other week for about an hour and a half, wherever and whenever the group decides. These are times for encouraging, praying intentionally for one another, and holding each other accountable in the struggles of daily life. DNA groups may just discuss a set of accountability questions every time they meet, or they may study a book of the Bible together, or go through another book together. We hope these groups provide discipleship, nurture, and accountability for everyone in them!
Will I have to share personal things?
How much you share is totally up to you! Community groups are meant for deep discussion around the Bible and the sermon. DNA groups are meant for personal accountability. DNA group is most likely the place you’ll want to share more, being open and honest about your struggles.
