The Urban Refuge Small Groups
about small groups
What are Small Groups?
Most of our small groups discuss questions based on the content of the weekend message. This has the wonderful benefit of helping us all think through the passages of Scripture in a deeper way and consider how they practically apply to our lives. Another plus is that you can join a small group anytime and be able to dive into the conversation with your personal insights from the message. In other words, you won’t have to feel like you’re playing catch up to get on the same page as everyone else. If a group is going through a particular study content, it will be noted in the Small Group info.
Joining a Small Group
Look below to locate a group that meets on a day that works for you. If you have interest in the group, go ahead and call or e-mail the leader to learn more about the group and its availability. If you decide to join their group, just pass on your contact information and join them at their next gathering.
