# Groups 
Groups are the place where big church becomes small, where we can experience intentional community, and where we can be discipled by others. Groups are a great way to fill your community block.

The church is made up of all ages and backgrounds, and we believe in creating groups that are multigenerational and include people from all walks of life so that we can learn from each other and grow together. 

## Type of Groups 

### Sermon-Based
These groups gather to discuss the sermon from each week and use the Sermon Discussion Guide to go deep into the message and draw out personal, practical application. If you’ve never been a part of a group before, we recommend you start here. 

### Care
We offer a variety of Care groups that are designed to help you find hope, healing, and restoration in various aspects of life. Examples of Care groups include re|engage (a marriage group), GriefShare, DivorceCare, Financial Peace University, Celebrate Recovery, and Freedom in Christ. 

### Community/Topical
Some groups focus on a specific topic, such as prayer or prophecy, while others gather around a specific book of the Bible. We encourage our people to follow the Lord’s leading when starting a group.
