Small Groups

If you want to grow in your faith, form lasting friendships and deepen your understanding of the Scriptures, consider joining one of our Small Groups.

Alpha

Alpha is designed to create a space for honest conversations about faith and discussing some of life’s biggest questions. It provides an opportunity to connect with one another while sharing thoughts, ideas, and opinions in a safe and caring environment. Each session will begin with a connection time with some light appetizers, content time with a short teaching, and end with a conversation around your table. If you have been a part of Alpha previously, and are interested in facilitating, please contact Barb Ready for more information.

Small Groups

LIFE IS BETTER IN COMMUNITY
In a small home group with other believers, we are encouraged and challenged. We are able to be real and comforted knowing we are not alone in our faith walk. We are able to grow closer to God with others. We have groups meeting around the area in Sun City, Margaritaville, Rose Hill, Hampton Lake, and New Riverside. To connect to one or to start one in your area, contact Barb Ready for the next steps in getting involved as a leader or if you want to hear more about the vision and get involved in general.

Men’s Small Groups

Every week men gather in small groups at different times and different locations to pray for one another, encourage one another, and consider how Scripture informs our lives. For those of you looking for a tight-knit band to help you navigate life, grow in grace and knowledge of the Scriptures, and work to see your lives changed so you are more like Jesus, these groups are for you. Contact Barb Ready to get connected with a group.

Women’s Groups & Studies

Our Women’s Small Groups and Bible Studies meet throughout the area, offering you a place to connect with other women, deepen your relationship with God, and walk through life together.

Each group is a welcoming space where women come together for prayer, study, encouragement, and authentic community. We meet in homes, online, and church.

You don’t have to do life alone. Let’s grow together.

Rooted

Rooted is a clear discipleship journey that helps people engage in the rhythms of the early church. Through God’s Word, God’s Spirit, and God’s work, disciples will develop rhythms of devotion, prayer, freedom, giving, service, story, and worship. The course commences each winter.

Membership begins with an informal meeting with clergy. The next step in getting connected would be joining a Bible Study or small group to be in community with other Believers.

Pray

Want us to pray for someone in need? Submit a prayer request (with their permission) and your prayer will be communicated with our clergy, Church staff, and Intercessory Prayer Team volunteers.

The person will remain on the prayer list for four weeks or until the office is notified otherwise.

Give

Everything we own and everything we have comes from God. So, when we give, we simply offer him a small portion of the abundance he has already given to us.

Giving is an expression of our thankfulness and praise to God, and there are various ways to give at The Church of the Cross.
