Small Faith Sharing Groups

One of the ways Christians have been gathering since the very beginning is in small faith sharing groups. These are groups of 6-12 people who gather on a regular basis to: share personal experiences of God’s work in our life; support one another’s lives of service within and without the community; reflect on Scripture or other materials; to challenge one another to live out the gospel and become intentional disciples; to focus on our faith and God’s presence in our daily lives. Cluster groups meet at parish sites or in individual’s homes throughout the year, generally for six weeks at a time. Groups meet on different days of the week, with day and evening groups available. Past offerings have included the Sunday Scripture Readings, Special Prayer, Advent and Lenten books.

Suggestions are always welcome.

Arch Small Group Community

Join 6-8 adults in their 20’s and 30’s for regular small group community and discussion. Most small groups gather weekly for 90 minutes. Multiple days and locations are available.
