Small Groups FAQ
How long do Small Group Sessions last?
Small groups generally last 12 weeks.
What type of commitment do I need to make to join a group?
We ask that you commit to attending at least 75% of the meetings. If you cannot make this commitment, we recommend you take this session off and let someone else have your spot!
Can I join more than one group?
We ask that you are only in one Small Group so that you can go deep with that particular community, and allow us to reach wide to offer space for everyone who wants to join a group. You may join multiple Affinity Groups.
What is an Affinity Group?
An Affinity Group is a group that is community focused and all about building relationships while having fun. These groups are a great way to meet new people and foster friendships here at Soul City Church.
How do I become a Small Group Leader?
The best way to become a Small Group Leader is a three-step process: join a group, serve as an apprentice, then be recommended as a leader.
What about recovery groups?
Soul City Church hosts a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) on Tuesday evenings at 7p in the Corner Classroom. You do not have to sign up to attend this meeting, you can simply show up. While we are very happy and proud to host this group, it is important to note that it is not directly affiliated with our church.
I missed Small Group Sign-ups, what do I do if I want to join a group?
In order to foster community, depth, and soul level conversations, we do not add individuals to small groups mid-session. The good news is a new round of groups will begin shortly! In the meantime, get involved through a Serving Team, more information can be found
I need childcare to attend a group but am worried about the cost. Is there any help available?
What happens in group is so important to our transformation that it deserves our focused attention. That is why we recommend not bringing children to group. Soul City does not want paying for childcare to be a barrier for anyone and is pleased to offset childcare expenses related to group meetings. We hope this helps every group experience the gift of uninterrupted time together.
Transformation happens better in circles than in rows. Our small groups are gatherings of people who meet across the city to talk through life and faith. Sign ups happen three times a year, in January, June and September.
