They serve the city, study Scripture, pray, plan social events, develop new leaders, and help each other in times of need – in other words they act like a church. In this way, we follow a long Christian pattern of meeting both in large gatherings and “house to house.” (Acts 5:42)

Where do the groups meet? 


Groups meet in homes throughout the city. All central Denver neighborhoods and many suburbs are represented.

How long and how often do the groups meet?


Most of the groups meet weekly. They gather on 3-month cycles, with a month off in-between. We do this for several reasons: (1) Because it’s easier to consider a three-month commitment than an indefinite one. (2) To give new people a chance to join groups. (3) To train new leaders and launch new groups. (4) Because it follows the natural rhythms of the year. For example, it’s good to have December off since Christmas schedules get hectic.

These cycles don’t mean that the groups turnover constantly. Most of the groups develop a consistent core of people who stick together for a good while.

How do I get more info or join a group? 


You are always welcome to attend a group if someone invites you. In fact, this is the best way!

 We also have sign-ups 3 times a year: January, May, and August. During these months, all open groups are publicized and the leaders are available to meet and give you more info. During sign-up months, you can register for a group online or on Sundays. 




Why should I join a group? 


There are many reasons, all centered on the idea that a church is a web of relationships, not just a series of big events. Through relationships we give and receive care, call out each other’s unique gifts, and recognize leadership potential. So you’re much more likely to learn how to love people if you know them and they know you. You’re more likely to be loved and cared for when life beats you up (and it will). You’re more likely to understand things you currently don’t. Furthermore, if you aspire to future leadership, you’ll need credibility in the community. So we look for faithful, consistent, growing group members as our top priority for further leadership development.
