Fall · Winter · Spring Semesters

Small Groups

Our best friendships start in living rooms, not auditoriums.

About Small Groups

Known by name, missed when absent

You can attend a church of hundreds for years and stay anonymous — unless you join a circle of ten. Small groups of 8–12 meet weekly in homes and hangouts across Maplewood to talk through Sunday's message, share meals, pray honestly, and show up for one another midweek.

Groups run in three semesters (fall, winter, spring) so trying one is low-pressure: pick a group, show up three times, and only then decide. Categories include young families, empty-nesters, singles, men, women, mixed, and interest groups like hiking, cooking, and new-believer foundations.

1

Pick your circle

Browse by night, neighborhood, or season of life — with help from our groups team if you want it.

2

Try three times

Three visits before you decide. Wrong fit? We'll walk you to a better one — no awkwardness.

3

Grow roots

Stay the semester. Share a meal, serve once together, and watch strangers become family.
