Journey Fellowship is not about getting people to grow a church but having a church to grow people. We are committed to personal growth and deep spiritual relationships. Our small groups are a great place to develop both.
Connect Groups
At Journey Fellowship, our small groups run on a semester basis: Spring, Summer, and Fall. This allows our small group hosts to take a break, refresh themselves, and gear up for another semester. Between our semesters, some groups continue to meet like our Wednesday night Bible Study and our Senior Adult groups. Our goal is threefold for our groups:
- Grow in your intimacy with God – we want you to know God more
- Grow in community with insiders – those who are a part of the body of Christ
- Grow in influence with outsiders – those who do not yet believe
The core behaviors of our groups are the same as our entire church: we invite, we connect, we coach, and we involve. Being a part of a Small Group does not mean you come, sit, listen, and leave. It means being involved in ministry within your group. It means taking ownership. We hope you’ll find a group to be a part of this semester!
