Small groups are the heart of Pathways Community Church!


If you are attending church but are not in a small group you are missing relationships and opportunities to grow that you can only find there! 
We all need authentic community! Starbucks understands that. One of their sayings is:

“Create Community. Make a difference in someone’s day.”

Authentic community is where we connect and build relationships through which we will grow in Christ. That is why we want everyone to have the opportunity to experience a life-changing small group.We want your small group at Pathways to being an environment where neighbors and friends can get together and dig into the Bible so that lives can be changed!”  

Plugging into a Small Group… 

  • Read - Take time to read through the list in the Small Groups Directory or the church website. 
  • Pray - Prayerfully consider which group you feel God would want you to be a part of. If you have never been in a group, pick something comfortable. We want this to be a great experience for you.
  • Sign Up - To sign up all you have to do is write the group number on your Connection Card at the close of a weekend service. Your new group leader will call you to help you get connected, and answer any questions you may have.
  • Attend - Have a great time developing your relationships with others in your group and with Jesus.
