Southland Groups

WHY GROUPS?

Southland Groups exist to help people connect with each other and grow closer to Jesus throughout the week. So whether at the gym, a coffee shop, or in a home, Southland Groups make life-changing relationships accessible to you. You’ll find people to encourage you, pray for you, and help you know God better. One of the best ways to experience community and find purpose is through groups.

Lead a Group

Leading a group isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others and allowing God to use you. At its core, leading a group is just giving people a safe space to share with each other, follow Jesus, grow together, and live out the gospel. Our group leaders play an important role, so we take great care to invest in them. Through leader training, content resources, and ongoing support, we will help you succeed as a leader! If leading conversations or making people feel at home sounds fun to you, we’d love to talk to you more about becoming a group leader!

FAQ

When do groups meet?

Groups meet in three semesters throughout the year: spring, summer, and fall. During each semester, groups meet weekly. Relationships develop best when groups spend consistent time together. Commitment is key for groups to be a place where relationships thrive and develop.

What happens at a group meeting?

The focus of every group is to fulfill our mission as a church: to be with Jesus, in community, and on mission. So every group, no matter if it’s a recreational group or a Bible study, will seek to live that out together. Every group will have a spiritual component to help members grow in their faith and love for Jesus, every group will focus on building friendships and community to share in life’s joys and challenges with one another, and every group will seek to be on mission by loving and serving those around them.

Where do groups meet? Can my group meet at the church?

Groups meet where everyday life happens! In homes, workplaces, coffee shops, parks, and gyms. Where do you do life? That’s where Southland Groups meet. We want to unleash a revolution of love outside of the church walls. Jesus was the ultimate example of this as he met with his disciples on hillsides, in boats and homes – not just at the temple. We believe life change, evangelism, and relationships happen most naturally as we meet outside of the church building. Anywhere can be a great place to meet Jesus and His truth!

How long do groups meet together?

Groups can stay together for one semester or many. The fall and spring semesters are typically 13 weeks long, and the summer semester is 7 weeks. Each semester you can choose whether to stay in the same group, try a new group, or take a break.

I’ve never led before. What training and resources do you have to help leaders?

Leading a group isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others by giving them a space to connect. Leading a group is simple -- choose an activity or study that interests you and select a time and place to meet with others. We’ll give you the essential tools and resources in leader training and coaching throughout the semester to be successful.
