Small Groups FAQ
How long do Small Group Sessions last?
Small groups generally last 12 weeks, but our Summer Session is often a few weeks shorter.
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.
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.
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 HERE.
When is the next round of Small Group Sign-Ups?
Our Fall Session of Small Groups will have sign-ups on our website starting on Sept 15 at 8a.
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.
Is childcare available for small groups?
Soul City does not want paying for childcare to be a barrier for anyone and is pleased to offset childcare expenses related to small group meetings and some Soul City events.
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.
Transformation

The mission of Soul City Church is to lead people into a transforming relationship with Jesus. We believe that life in Jesus is a series of next steps, and your net step is unique to your relationship.
