Small Groups

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Small Group?
Small Groups are made up of people who want to connect with others and grow spiritually. They are gatherings of people just like you who are committing to live a Christian life to the fullest with each other.

Are all Small Groups the same?
No!

We have all kinds of groups because we have all kinds of people. Our neighborhood groups look like your neighborhood.  We have groups based upon life stage or special interests.  We have groups for couples, empty nesters, families, singles, just men and just women.  There are workplace groups that meet in office buildings or restaurants at lunch throughout the area. You are sure to find a group for you.

Why should I join a Small Group?
When we placed our faith in Christ we also committed to connecting with other believers to share life with them. The Bible commands us to love one another, to bear one another’s burdens, to pray diligently for one another, and to help meet each other’s needs. We cannot do this effectively unless we are connected to each other. By joining a Small Group, you:

• will understand the Bible better (there's nothing like the chance to ask questions)
• you will feel like you're part of God's family (and not just a face in the crowd)
• will have prayer become more meaningful for you (your friends will be praying for/with you)
• will better handle life difficulties and pressures (with people who might have the same experience).

Do I have to be a member of Woodlands Church Northwest to join a Small Group?
No.

But to LEAD a group, you must be a member.

How often does a Small Group meet?
Groups meet on a predictable day and time,

usually twice a month, but sometimes once a week.
