Then Jesus said ... “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” - John 8:31-32
Small Groups
Small Groups are communities of approximately 8-12 people who meet to grow spiritually, share life together, and develop long-lasting friendships. We are not meant to grow in Christ alone. We are designed to grow in community with one another.
What do we study or use to learn?
Many of our Small Groups follow curriculum written each week based on the current worship series. Questions on the scripture, sermon, and life application make it easy for groups to lead themselves, and leaders only need a little training to get started.
When and where do groups meet?
Groups meet for different durations, from just one worship series to a semester to year round. Most groups meet in people's homes or in nearby locations. Some groups meet on the FUMCR campus.
Who is in the groups?
Small Groups are made up of adults. They form around study topics, common interests, geographic proximity, desired meeting time, or life stage and can be single gender or mixed.
Who are the group leaders?
Small Group Leaders are members of FUMCR who have shown commitment to our mission of welcoming, growing, and serving while supporting FUMCR with their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Are you interested in starting a group in your area? We are always looking for new leaders. Keep reading to learn how.
