Biblical “Everyday they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.” Act 2:46 Just like the first church, small groups are a place to find meaningful connection with other believers, where real relationships are formed.
Uplifting
Give and receive love and encouragement. Pray and be prayed for. Be accepted just as you are. You will find real people with real problems, but with the love and hope of Jesus Christ that rescues us all.
Fun
Laugh, learn and build life supporting friendships. Meet new people from Hillcrest and connect deeper to God and others.
What Can I Expect
A meeting usually lasts around 2 hours, including refreshments and friendly conversation. Each group selects its own topic, most follow a discussion guide with questions pertaining to the biblical text and that apply the text to your life. Each group also has a time for prayer needs and praises. The focus is spiritual, emotional and relational growth for each member.
How Do I Connect
We would love to see everyone get connected in a small group. We feel it’s the best way for you to get in the type of biblical community that God intended for us to have.
