The abundant life that Jesus longs for us to live encompasses more than a few hours on Sunday morning. Being a follower of Christ is not an event. It’s a lifestyle. It’s not a list of activities, but a way of being. Small Groups are one of the ways that we intentionally put Christ at the center of our lives – our whole lives. It is our desire that these groups will be places where biblical understanding can be applied for substantive spiritual growth in the context of loving relationships.

We invite you to join us!

Small Groups are designed to be a safe place to experience what it means to live lives that are focused on loving God and one another. We do this through sharing our life stories – the triumphs and the struggles – and graciously coming alongside one another as we stretch and grow to be more like Christ.

Small Groups are Christ-centered and biblically based. Whether we’re discussing the latest sermon, studying Scripture or working through a topical series, God’s Word is always the foundation.

Small Groups are open to adults of all ages and life stages as we believe there is great benefit in learning from and caring for one another inclusive of generational, ethnic, and socio-economic diversity.

Small Groups are conveniently located in homes throughout the greater West Chester, Downingtown and Newtown Square areas.  We currently have ten active Small Groups, listed below:

• Larry Bazar leading seniors group, meeting every other Sunday evening.
• Mark  and Colleen Boyer leading 40s-60s age group, meeting once a month on a Friday evening.
