Small Groups

Our circles are an essential part of church life, providing pastoral care, discipleship, and a space to build meaningful relationships and fellowship. They help assimilate new members into the church community and allow people to connect with those who live near them. Through circles, individuals become more aware of the needs within the body of Christ, engage in practical expressions of love, and grow in their vision for evangelism, impacting their communities for Christ. These groups foster a deeper sense of belonging and spiritual growth.

This is the group in which you will lose and find things at the same time.

We will lose both golf balls and a little bit of pride, but we find good fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Come join us for a relaxed Sunday afternoon of 9 holes and good fellowship followed by a short discussion of what Pastor Carter spoke about in his latest sermon. Everyone is encouraged to have input with a of goal each to have one comment or question.

No, you don’t have to be any good at golf. Come and see that we are here to uplift each other in the name of Christ.

Sundays at 4 p.m. at Cascades Golf Course

School. Work. Relationships. Phone chargers. Your 20s & 30s are some of the most defining years of your life that you often don’t know how to navigate. Life is complicated, but you don’t have to do it alone. Come as you are, no matter your past or present as we fellowship and discuss topics relevant to young adults such as faith, relationships, finances, & more. Our ROOTS Young Adult Circle meets twice a month, every other Friday at 7pm. The first meeting of the month is a discussion where we tackle topics that would normally not be covered or asked in a church setting. The second meeting of the month is a fun activity (like put-put or bowling).

Every other Friday at 7 p.m.

“Walking with God” is the theme of our Wendnesday Night Circle. Our Circle meets on Wednesdays at 7 p.m., alternating each week from the homes of Jim & Jeanne Deckard and James & Carol Carter. At the Deckard’s, Jim is the facilitator. We pray, sing, give praise reports, and study God’s Word. Sometimes discussing one verse or many, regarding such topics as “Who is God?” At the Carter’s, James is the facilitator and we do some of the same things and add in additional activities using online Christian apps such as Bible quizes, devotionals, and Christin worship videos.

Connected Men is a circle that meets on the first Monday of every month at 6 p.m.. This circle creates a space where men get together and have open and honest discussions about the scriptures as well as topics relevant to men. The goal is to increase the knowledge of men, by developing the mindset of Jesus Christ, that they might take possession of their true identity, and walk out the plans and purpose that God has appointed for their lives.

The 1st Monday of the month at 6 p.m. at Connected Church

We are a sisterhood of strong, fearless single mothers—women who have faced life’s hardest moments and refused to give up. Together, we uplift, empower, and support one another through every high and low. This group is more than a community—it’s a family. We understand the strength it takes to raise children alone, the courage it takes to keep going, and the love that drives us to do more every day. Here, we celebrate our victories, share our struggles, and grow together. United, we are unstoppable.

Journey Beyond the Amen

Every week, we’ll revisit Sunday’s sermon—not just to remember what was preached, but to walk it out in real life.

We’ll dig into the Word together, ask real questions, have honest conversations, and grow in faith—side by side.

Whether you’re new to the message or just want to go deeper, this is a space for community, growth, and walking with purpose.

So if you’re looking for a circle where faith comes alive between Sundays—this is it.

Let’s take the journey beyond the amen—together.

Join us for 31 Girl—a group inspired by Proverbs 31, where we’ll explore the skills, talents, and relationships of the Proverbs 31 woman. We meet twice a month at 3 p.m. on Saturdays to discuss how we can grow in our own lives and become more like the woman described in Proverbs 31.

Through scripture and meaningful conversations, we’ll learn new skills, build friendships, and encourage each other in our journeys.

Let’s support and empower one another as we grow into God’s version of the Proverbs 31 woman!
