Life's too hard to do alone!

Small Groups exist to foster authentic relationships by connecting people with God, with people, and with ministry.

The Bend Small Groups are fun groups that meet bi-weekly for an hour and a half, on different days throughout the first and third week of the month in the fall and spring, and are available for many different interests and places in life.  

To sign up to join a Small Group, choose one or more groups and fill out the form below!

Our current small group semester meets every other week, beginning 9/11/22 through 11/19/22.  Each group has a different meeting day of the week and meeting time. Some have childcare. 

Group leaders will let you know where, when, and what day of the week they are meeting. Our last session of small groups had over 130 participants.  We had wonderful times together, laughed a lot, learned a lot, and made great, lasting friendships. Come check ouat a group!

If you don’t see a red dot close to you on the map, get with Liz Erickson about that! We need more group leaders and will train you to lead a group, and help you out along the way!
