Community Groups are groups of ideally 8 to 12 that meet 3 to 4 times a month. Members learn and support one another, dive into Scripture, and pray with and for one another. As a result, group members receive accountability, belonging, and care. It is also a desire that Community Groups eventually find ways to serve with one another both in the church and out in the community.

Community Groups are designed to meet 3-4 times a month (most existing groups meeting weekly). These groups are expected to be in relationship for at least 12 months, but this timeframe depends on the needs and nature of each specific group.

Unlike a short-term book study, Community Groups gather long enough so that relationships can blossom, trust can be built, and lifelong friendships are more likely to be found.

Well, yes and no. That depends on what you've experienced in the past! Community Groups, unlike a pastor's Bible study or traditional Sunday School class, don't have a designated leader or teacher, especially at the start of a group. This reminds us that we are all called to be ministers and that we can all learn from and lean on one another. Community Groups, while grounded in Scripture and prayer, are more relationship driven as opposed to lecture or book driven. This, again, lives into the truth that you can’t grow spiritually without connecting relationally.

Yes! Join a Community Group. While they may have a different name, they are the primary way we connect here at CLUMC. Just because the name may be different, you will still be stretched spiritually and blessed by new relationships in a Community Group!

Yes! They meet at 9:15 am on Sunday mornings in the Chapel Complex on campus, and they are always accepting new members.

There are plenty of opportunities at CLUMC for fellowship and fun together! We have events like Church Nights Out around town, trivia nights, and more! Head over to the calendar to register for one or all of our upcoming fellowship events.

To help foster relationships of new Community Groups, we launch new groups periodically throughout the year. To honor relationships and trust built within a group, we do not add new members to groups once they have formed. To be added to the list to be added to a new group, please fill out the form here.
