Fall Growth Groups
Growth Groups are small groups that meet together for a 10-12 weeks, with two intertwined goals: 1) Develop relationships with a variety of people in our church community, and 2) Grow closer to God as we engage in discipleship. We believe lasting spiritual change almost always happens in the context of community.
This Fall, all of our Groups (besides Group #20) will be taking part in a church-wide event called “FOCUS.” Groups will utilize a specialized curriculum, following along with a 10 week series centered around building up a clear and simple Christian worldview. In a world where truth is contested at every turn, it’s more important than ever that we “get our story straight” and focus in on what exactly Christians hold to be true.
For more information on FOCUS, check out the Growth Group links below!
FOCUS begins Septembers 15th; curriculum books will be distributed in church that Sunday morning.

Growth Group FAQ
What is a Growth Group?
It is often difficult to get connected with others in a growing church. So we have created intentional spaces where we can engage in relationships and experience God together. We believe that the intentionality and communal nature of growth groups can be beneficial for our spiritual growth.
What Happens When I Sign Up?
When you sign up, the leader of your new Growth Group will contact you with the address of the Group’s meeting place, the date and time you’ll be starting on, and all the other information you’ll need to have a great experience.
When Will My Growth Group Meet?
Growth Groups meet once a week, and each meeting is just sixty to ninety minutes long. Groups meet for ten to twelve times over the semester. It’s a short-term commitment but the positive impact on your life will be long-term.
What Will The People In My Group Be Like?
Look around at a Sunday service. A Growth Group is basically about fifteen or so people who attend Encounter Church on a Sunday.
Is There A Group That’s Right For Me?
Since there are a variety of groups, you’ll have the chance to share your life experiences with others who have similar ones.
Can I Invite Others?
Invite as many friends, co-workers, neighbors, family, etc. that aren’t connected to another church. Growth Groups are designed to get people connected to our church and to one another. The more people, the better.
