Small Groups

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a small group?

A small group, also known as a cell group, is three or more individuals who join together under a Bridges ministry to create a Biblical community. This community is designed for you to encourage, support, and challenge each other to love God and love others.

Where do groups meet?

Small groups meet in varying environments including people’s homes, restaurants, community buildings, recreation centers, outdoors and the church. Wherever there is an opportunity for three or more to join together, there is also the potential to support a group.

What do groups do?

As long as the group’s members agree to grow spiritually, build relationships, reach out to the community, worship God and serve others, there is an endless array of explanations for what groups do. At Bridges, groups have the opportunity to form under a common interest such as biking, hiking, parenting, singleness, etc. Once a general interest is defined the group agrees to meet monthly, bi-monthly or weekly to pursue its interests and incorporate the five purposes into their pursuit for Biblical community.

Why should I join a small group?

By joining a small group you are opening a door to feeling supported and acknowledged as an attendee/member of Bridges. It is also the primary means for learning upcoming announcements, growing spiritually, building friendships and becoming an active individual with an obtainable mission in life.
