Our GroupLife environments are designed to help people of all backgrounds and stages of life connect relationally in order to grow spiritually. We believe that life change happens best within the context of community. Based on where you are in your faith, we want to help you connect to the appropriate group setting. If you identify as someone who is new to faith or exploring, you may want to check out our Interest Groups, Starting Point, or Short-Term Groups. If you are someone who is seeking to go deeper in their faith, maybe you’re ready for Rooted, Community Groups, or Growth Groups. For those who are more fully engaged with our mission, there are leadership opportunities to help create group environments for others to experience.
Use the GroupLife Engagement Funnel below to help identify the right group fit for you.
Interest Groups are groups that form seasonally around a common interest or activity (ie. running, softball, hiking, cycling, motorcycles, etc…).
Starting Point is a conversational environment where people can explore faith and experience community. Starting Point groups are a safe place for people with questions about faith as well as those who want to learn about the Bible and Christianity. Groups meet here at the Journey campus for 5 weeks and explore the Bible’s story while helping one another find their place in it.
Starting Point is offered three times a year; March, August, and November.
Short-Term Groups are like Community Groups, but meet weekly for a short term (3-6 weeks) at the Journey campus to explore one topic. They are meant to provide a glimpse into what our long-term Community Groups are like. In a Short-Term Group, those who attend will interact with the same people each week to connect relationally while also growing spiritually by discussing the topic and serving the community together.
Short-Term Groups are offered twice a year; April and July.
Rooted is an 11-week catalytic experience that will jump start or deepen a person’s faith and their impact in the world. We believe Rooted is the best way for a new group to begin to connect relationally in order to grow spiritually. The Rooted experience will deepen your connection with God, His church, and your purpose in God’s epic story.
We offer Rooted twice a year during Group Formation Season.
Community Groups are small groups of adults that meet weekly for connection and spiritual growth. Members of all ages, stages of life, and spiritual maturity are welcome.
Growth Groups are designed for those who have recently experienced Rooted within 24 months of the current Group Formation Season. Now, individuals have an option for a new or continued group experience which will be a 9-month intentional focus on using our lives to help others experience Jesus.
