Adult and Small Groups

​Being a follower of Christ includes a commitment to lifelong learning. At Genesis we offer introductory as well as intensive learning opportunities designed to help you increase your biblical knowledge, expand your theological horizons, and deepen your prayer life.

The Small Group Approach

Support for the day-to-day challenges of living the Christian life happens best in small groups. We are called to process, discern, listen, and pray together on a regular basis. Authentic Christian community is nurtured and sustained by small group ministry. Our goal is to have multiple options available at all times for people to find community, grow spiritually and develop means of accountability for their life of discipleship. Some groups are designed for short-term participation and others grow into being covenant groups that meet on a consistent long-term basis. There are also fellowship or infinity groups that emerge from time to time.

Common Threads
Mondays
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm

Do you enjoy quilting, knitting, or any other types of crafting? Then the Common Threads small group may be just the thing for you! The group will meet on Tuesday afternoons. No need to make a weekly commitment—just come when you can! It’s your opportunity to get together with other crafters in an unstructured setting to work on projects, learn new things and just share a time of fellowship.
