Small Group FAQ

WHAT IS A SMALL GROUP? A small group is a gathering of approximately 10-20 people who meet together regularly for fellowship, Bible study and prayer. Small groups were created to connect people to one another and to the life of Calvary while helping them apply biblical principles to their everyday life.

ARE ALL GROUPS THE SAME? No. At Calvary, we have all kinds of groups because we have all kinds of people. There are groups for men, women, couples, empty nesters and college-age singles. There are also groups that study the Bible in-depth, study topics of life, focus on intercessory prayer, or focus on a ministry at Calvary.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN A SMALL GROUP? First, you’ll begin to feel like you’re part of the Calvary family and not just a face in the crowd. Second, you’ll immediately be surrounded by people who will provide a caring network of love and support. Third, you’ll begin to understand the Bible better as you study the scriptures with others. Finally, you’ll discover the joy of experiencing life with genuine friends who accept you for who you are and for who you are becoming.

HOW OFTEN DO SMALL GROUPS MEET? Small groups meet once a week on Calvary’s campus on Sunday morning, Sunday night or Wednesday night.

HOW LONG DOES A SMALL GROUP MEET? Small groups meet for a trimester or four months. New groups begin in January, May and September. The length of each meeting time is one hour and 15 minutes. Sunday night groups meet from 6:00 pm – 7:15 pm, and Wednesday night groups meet from 6:30 pm – 7:45 pm. Check the small group section for times for Sunday morning groups.

IS THERE CHILDCARE AVAILABLE? Yes. Children’s age-appropriate groups meet at the same time that the adult groups meet. Sunday evening beginning at 5:30pm; Wednesday evening beginning at 6:00pm.

HOW DO I JOIN A GROUP? Look on the website to see the many choices that are offered and prayerfully consider where God wants you to grow. Come to the Resource Center located in the church lobby to register and purchase your book or workbook. All of our groups are “open” groups which means you can join at any time during the trimester.
