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.
*GROUPS WILL REOPEN IN AUGUST
DNA Groups
Who can join community groups?
Anyone who wants to grow in their relationship with God and other believers!
Our community groups are sermon-based discussions that help us go deeper in the Scripture text we studied the previous Sunday.
They’re 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 a DNA group?
Anyone who wants to form one together.
If you’re interested in getting together with a few other people to discuss a book, go deeper in Bible study, or even have fun pursuing a hobby together, then form your group, sign up so we know your group exists, and enjoy!
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 can look however the group determines. You can have as little as 3 people, and as many as you want. You can go through a devotional book together, study a book of the Bible more deeply, pursue a hobby together, confess sin to and pray for one another, etc.
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 building more personal relationships. DNA group is most likely the place you’ll want to share more, but it’s up to you. Confession is a part of spiritual growth, so try to find people you trust and be honest about your struggles.
