Small Groups are the heart of Bethel
Why small groups? We find that small groups are the best context for Community, Action, and Transformation to occur in our lives. Here is what we mean by those three terms:
Our GROW Groups are "Pursuing a Deeper Relationship with Jesus" in other ways for the summer. If you are interested in plugging into a short-term summer group, click here.
Community - Connect, build relationships, and care for one another
Action - Partner with others to help advance God's Kingdom
Transformation - Experience growth and life change through study, example, and encouragement.
Intro Groups
...include groups for people who are checking out Christianity, getting established in their walk with Christ, or just new to Bethel.
Resonate
Resonate is a subset of our GROW groups that are primarily 20- and 30-year old singles, couples, and families with very young children. Groups meet weekly in homes on various evenings. Occasionally, we all meet together at Cafe Resonate.
GROW Groups
We consider all of our small groups as GROW groups. These groups are open to everybody. It is in the context of a GROW group that we seek to encourage one another to live righteously in grace according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Women
...have a variety of groups. Some of us meet as part of JOY in the Morning or Joy in the Evening (on Tuesdays). Others of us meet at MOPS, aerobics, or for other fellowship and study groups..

Growth & Healing
When Jesus Christ adopted Isaiah 61 as his job description (Luke 4:18-19) he underlined one of the most basic realities about life--Christ came to heal and restore.
Small Groups
...are also a part of Middle School, High School, College, and Outreach.
