Small Groups

Be Known. Do Good.

Welcome to small groups! Small groups are an important way we find community and grow in our faith. As human beings we want to be known and to do good things in and for the world. Our small groups invite each person to a journey that intentionally fosters connection, growth, purpose, and service.

My motivation for leading this group is the calling I have to help others focus on their overall well-being by improving their health, including biological, psychological, social, and spiritual health. My hope for the group is that each individual walks away understanding the importance of brain health, as I am fascinated with the knowledge around this topic! We will engage in many different ways to discuss our spirituality, in the midst of other areas. I look forward to joining with you as we learn and discuss life together! This group will begin February 5, 2025.

Carnes Small Group
Wednesdays, 6:30pm

My husband and I hope our small group will be a place for others to be known and experience belonging, while digging into a deeper study of the bible together. We have a desire to deepen our love of Jesus in a community that loves and cares for one another. Our life and faith experiences have been shaped by living abroad, learning how it feels to be an outsider, deconstructing the American cultural aspects of faith, and finding Jesus’ love at the center. We hope you will join us on this journey.

Guys and Yahweh
Mondays, 6pm
Brookside

Guys and Yahweh provides space for gay Christian men to connect and share in the journey of knowing, loving and serving God and others. Through fellowship, study, worship and service, our small group will strengthen the spiritual discovery and growth of each participant. It is our hope those who have been hurt by previous experiences or have limited church exposure will find a welcome place in our group. As we share the story of our lives with others and see more clearly how our story connects with the larger story of God’s redemptive activity, we make progress toward the goal of becoming deeply committed Christians.

Braatz Wallace Small Group
Tuesdays, 10am

The feeling God called us to bring ladies together in love and friendship has led us to host a small group. Our hope is we can continue growing in a daily walk in faith. We pray those in our group feel they are loved and supported and share a willingness to answer and ask questions. In our experience leading groups off and on for many years, we have a deep desire to continue to learn and share with others. We are certainly aware that we don’t have all the answers, but together we can continue to share meaningful discussions. We would love for you to join us!

My personal experience with an eating disorder and my pathway to recovery has inspired me to continue to host this group in order to provide hope, connections, compassion, and spiritual growth for those with an eating disorder or related struggles. My hope is to provide a safe place to share experiences, as well as support and learn from each other. As a retired nurse, I am realizing I am busier now more than ever.

What are Small Groups?

Small groups at Resurrection are communities of 5-15 people who meet regularly on the journey of becoming deeply committed Christians. Our program is built on an intentional journey, scheduling flexibility, and low-pressure conversations with the potential to become deeper relationships.

  • There is no prep work to attend a session. Simply show up. Plus, childcare and children/student programming is offered at certain times throughout the week.
  • This program is not an every week model. Most groups meet roughly every two of three weeks with built in longer breaks. Groups ultimately decide the flexibility of their schedule.
  • Our vision is for a two-year, intentional journey, but you only sign up for six weeks. There is a natural exit point at the six-week mark, and groups are welcome to reevaluate their plans at this point. However, the vast majority of our groups desire to stay with program. It has a proven track record.
