Groups

We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ creates a unique and transformed community that is called and sent out to live on mission together. Based on Acts 2:42, our groups create communities where people are growing in knowledge and application of Scripture, where they are known and loved, and where they are spurred on to carry out Jesus’ mission in the places where they live, learn, work, and play.

There are two primary groups within our church – Small Groups and Discipleship Groups.

Small Groups

Small Groups are geographically-organized gatherings where following Jesus is practiced in community and, as a result, we grow in our faith and form meaningful relationships with others. They are typically between 8-16 people that gather weekly or bi-weekly to study the bible, pray together, and serve the community. At their heart, they are a small local expression of the church.

How to join a Small Group

The majority of groups meet on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, September-June. You can browse open small groups here and fill out the form below to get placed into a group. Questions? Email Richard Wallace, our small groups coordinator at smallgroups@nscbc.org. Fill Out the Small Group Interest Form

Discipleship Groups

Discipleship Groups (aka "D-Groups") are four-person, same-gendered groups that meet weekly for one year with the intent to multiply. The heart behind discipleship groups is to provide a structure for spiritual practices to grow in our lives: Bible reading, obedience to God, openness to one another, and mission to the world.

How to join a D-Group

Unlike small groups, D-Groups are leader-initiated. As groups conclude their year of intentional discipleship, new groups form from within our community. If you are interested in joining a D-Group, fill out this interest form, and we will share your info with future D-Group leaders. Fill Out the Discipleship Group Interest Form
