238 Small Groups - Find Your Community

Life Is Better Together

At 238 Church, we believe that real growth happens in community. 238 Small Groups are designed to bring people together, fostering meaningful relationships and creating spaces for spiritual growth. These groups are where the big church feels small, and everyone has a place to belong.

What Are Small Groups?

A Place to Connect

Small groups are gatherings of people who meet regularly to share life, study God’s Word, and pray together. Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with God for years, there's a group for you.

A Space to Grow

238 Small Groups are focused on helping you grow in your relationship with God and others. Through discussions, Bible studies, and shared experiences, you’ll deepen your understanding of scripture and its application to daily life.

A Community to Support You

Life is full of challenges and victories. Small groups provide a safe environment where you can share, be encouraged, and find the support you need from others who care.

Types of Small Groups

We offer a variety of small groups to fit your interests, schedule, and stage of life:

Men’s and Women’s Groups: Dive into scripture with others in a similar stage of life or interest

Young Adults and Gen Z Groups: Tailored for younger generations to explore faith and purpose

Couples and Family Groups: Grow spiritually with your partner or as a family

Topical Groups: Focused on specific studies or interests, like prayer, finances, or parenting

Why Join a Small Group?

Find Your Place: Build authentic relationships and feel connected to your church family
