GROUPS

At OWCC, we value meeting in smaller groups to draw closer to Jesus Christ and to each other.

Our Life Groups meet during the fall and spring and are comprised of 6-12 people. Life Groups are gracious and hospitable environments for people to study scripture and discuss the issues, celebrations, and challenges of life. Life Groups members pray for and care for one another.

We also host several Short Term Groups throughout the year that focus on topics such as faith, grief, marriage, finances, divorce, and food.

FAQ

  • Signups for Groups occur in January and August.

  • Groups run in two, 8-12 week sessions – fall and spring.

  • We ask that you commit to attending at least 75% of the gatherings. If you can’t make this commitment, we recommend you take the session off to allow others to have the opportunity to join.

  • In order to foster community, depth of conversation, and trust, sign-ups close after a group has reached capacity.

    If Groups aren’t currently open and you’d like to get connected at OWCC, please visit our Connect page.

  • Generally speaking, we ask that you only join one Group per session so that you can go deep with that particular group and it allows us extra space for everyone to join a Group.

  • There’s two steps: join a Group and then apply to lead a Group. We’ll take it from there. Apply to lead a Group by filling out this form.

  • No worries! There are lots of other groups that meet outside of Outer West Community Church.

    Here’s a few we’d recommend:
    Bible Study Fellowship
    Community Bible Study
    Celebrate Recovery
    12-Step Groups

  • We love your kids! We also recognize that it’s difficult to have meaningful conversations in an adult environment with kids present.

    To ensure a conducive environment for all, we ask parents, excluding nursing babies, to arrange for childcare during Life Group sessions.

    We know that the expense of childcare can be burdensome so that’s why we have a Childcare Supplement Request to assist parents facing financial challenges with the cost of ongoing childcare.

If you have other questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
