START A GROUP

Find out how you can start a Connect Group and make a difference!

Start a Group!

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 you 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. We have two types of Connect Groups. First, we have Social groups, which is the majority of our groups. These are just that - social, building relationships, and discussing Biblical principles. The second is Equip groups, which are more oriented toward a specific topic of study.


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 training on this page.
  3. Commit to leading at least one semester.
  4. Fill out an application to Lead a Group (end of the Leader Guide)


Group semesters run January - May and September -December
