Groups are where you can connect with others who are also discovering a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ. You can either join a group or start your own. Either way, you don't have to live life alone. God designed you to live in community with others. Groups meet on different days, times and locations and engage in different things. We have Sunday Groups that meet at the church after our service; Life Groups that meet throughout the week for outreach, bible studies, and prayer; and Activity Groups that meet for things like baking or camping. Click on the following Groups Directory and find the right group for you!

LEADING A GROUP

To lead a group, you don't have to be perfect and you don't have to know all the right answers. You just have to be willing to provide a space for others to discover, connect, grow or serve. If you want to lead a learning based group, we will provide you with a list of Recommended Curricula to choose from. We believe that God powerfully uses groups to change lives through Jesus Christ and as a Group Leader, you have a chance to be a part of that. Please fill out this form with your group idea, print it and drop it off at the church office or email it to office@encompass.church.
