Feel disconnected? Want to build real friendships? Want to learn more about your faith? Want to live life as God intended it? Then Small Groups are perfect for you.
What are “Small Groups”?
Small Groups are communities of 6 to 12 people that get together at least once every two weeks to do three things:
1. Go UP to God through Bible study and prayer,
2. Go IN to community by building strong, true, authentic Christ-based relationships amongst Small Group members, and
3. Go OUT to the world by encouraging and equipping each other to be ambassadors of Jesus Christ where we live, work, play and learn.
How are Small Groups organized?
Most of our Small Groups made up of people in the same station in life (such as similar ages and family status), and most groups have both men and women in them. We also have groups that are just men and just women. These groups tend to be more diverse in age and station in life.
How do I get into a Small Group?
If you are 18 or older, there are two ways of joining a Small Group.
The first way is to take the Alpha Course at St. Michael’s. Most Small Groups are born out of the Alpha Course, so the best place to start is by taking Alpha.
While you can join a Small Group without taking Alpha first, we strongly encourage that you do take Alpha.
We do have some Small Groups that are open to anyone at anytime.

Are you interested in Starting or Leading a Small Group?
Leading a Small Group is a great next step in your spiritual formation. Leading a Small Group is a big step for you personally, and it is also a key role in the life of St. Michael’s. Because it’s so important, we want to do everything possible to equip you to lead well. If you are interested in starting a new Small Group or assuming a leadership role in your current group, we’d love to begin that conversation with you.
