Be a Growth Group Host Spring 2026

Learn what it means to be loved, be transformed, and be on mission with Jesus this spring.

Growth Groups are where faith is lived, relationships deepen, and discipleship happens. You don’t need to have all the answers, just a heart to welcome, encourage, and facilitate discussion. We provide all the tools you need!

What’s a Growth Group Host?

It’s not about having all the answers; it’s about opening your home, your heart, or even a room at church and creating space where people can connect, grow, and follow Jesus together. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or it’s your first time, we’ll equip you every step of the way.

Spring Growth Groups Begin the Week of February 1

Most groups will run through April 26 (13 weeks).

Curriculum Options

• Sermon Series: Align with the weekly teaching; leader guides help your group apply the Bible to everyday life.
  • February – Discipleship Series
  • March – Jesus on trial
  • April – Joshua
• Rooted: 10-week study helping believers build spiritual habits: prayer, Bible study, community, and service.
• Financial Peace University (FPU): Dave Ramsey’s course on budgeting, debt, saving, and generosity is practical, life-changing, and God-honoring.
• RightNow Media – The Gospel of Mark by Francis Chan: Verse-by-verse study on following Jesus, understanding His mission, and living as His disciple.
• RightNow Media – The Beatitudes by Matt Chandler: 8-session series exploring the Beatitudes and living under God’s Kingdom.
• Other Studies: Pick your own Bible study, devotional, or RightNow Media series that fits your season of life.
