Renew Groups
Whether you are in the process of figuring out what you believe, are a new follower of Jesus, or someone who has been a Christian for a long time, these groups are a place where you can ask questions, share stories, explore who Jesus is, and develop relationships with other people in the community.
Why Groups?
Our groups provide intentional rhythms and places for people to build friendships and community, in addition to Sunday services, that help them feel connection and a sense of belonging, both with God and with others.
What do we do?
Each group gets to prayerfully consider how they will live into Renew’s vision statement: That we would be a church that is For Jesus, For People, and For Our City.
For Jesus: the group will intentionally create space to connect with God through engaging in a certain book, curriculum, or video series that helps them grow with God.
For People: the group will have planned ways to get to know each other through discussion, hang times, and doing life together.
For Our City: the group will help each other live more missionally, considering a need, network, or neighborhood that they could serve, bless, or invite through their time together.

I don't see an open group that's a good fit for me. What should I do next?
If you don’t see a group that seems to work with your schedule or offer what you are looking for, please reach out to our Associate Pastor, Meghan Bruggeman, to discuss options to help you stay connected at Renew. We offer intentional Group Sign Ups in both the Fall and Spring seasons.
What is expected of me if I join a group?
We simply ask you to commit to attending and participating in your group for the designated length of time as described in the Group’s description. We have groups that will either meet for a semester (4-12 week period) or 1 year. We hope to create clear on/ off ramps for both our Group Leaders and participants.
