Start a Group? Interested??

We believe one of the best ways for people to become a disciple is in the context of community. Maybe you’ve never thought of yourself as a leader or don’t know where to start. We are all called to lead somehow, and the best place to start is where you are! It’s time to step out and help others grow in their faith. Groups come in many varieties from casual meals and conversations about the Sunday sermon to curriculum-based studies, or shared interests like crafting or pickleball.


We want to ensure you are well equipped with vision and carry the culture of Faith Church. The first step is attending Growth Track, where you'll hear more about Faith Church and have the opportunity to become a Faith Church partner.


Before leading a group:

  1. Attend Growth Track and become a Faith Church partner.
  2. Review the Group Leader Guide on this page.
  3. Commit to leading for at least one semester.
  4. Fill out an application to Lead a Group (end of the Leader Guide)


Group semesters run February - May and September -December
