Small Groups

Most of our small groups meet in homes every week or other week to support one another by doing life together. These groups typically have a time of prayer and discussion centered around the scripture. Groups are free to take on whatever format best fits their group; however, most groups either have a time of sermon discussion or Bible study. We also encourage our small groups to serve together. Their service may include serving in a particular area of the church or serving in our local community. Each group's service project is at their discretion.

Small Group Meetings

Missional Living Small Group

The Missional Living small group, led by Pastor Greg, studies the Scripture, diving deeper into what it means to lead a life on mission for God both locally and globally. We meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:15 to 7:45 p.m. To learn more about this outreach-focused small group, please sign up via the form below or see Pastor Greg Walker for more details. 

Students Small Group

The Refuge Students small group, led by Josh Hedrick, meets Wednesdays from 6-8 pm. They spend time fellowshipping and diving into the Word of God each week. The students visit, spend time studying God's Word, and conclude the night with more fellowship and fun! Refuge Students is a fun, exciting place for 7th-12th graders to learn about God and grow in their personal walk with Jesus.
