Home Groups

Home group gathered in a circle in a home

Home Groups are a vital part of the life of Grassroots Church community. We believe this is where real connections are fostered and discipleship best takes place.

 

“A2BCDs” of Home Groups

Our framework for what we hope to provide in our Home Groups ministry is adapted from Northpoint Community Church’s ABCs of Small Groups. Grassroots has added just a smidge to their model, calling it the A2BCDs of Home Groups:

  • A – Accountability. Home groups are a space for us to hold each other accountable, with love and grace, in following in the way of Jesus.
  • A – Authenticity. Accountability can only happen in a context of trust with one another, beginning with being real.
  • B – Belonging. Being a part of a home group pushes against a world that elevates the mantra of “Going it alone!” By committing to a group, you’re committing to being part of something and when you’re not there, you’re missed.
  • C – Caring. We strive for Home Groups to move toward one another in lending a hand with all aspects of life. We want to be intentional in caring for each other and the world.
  • D – Discipleship. Home Groups provide a fertile environment for growing in the Jesus way.

 

Home Groups for Winter 2025

Home Groups will run in the Winter of 2025. These groups meet at various times and at various frequencies each month and for the most part will use a reflection and scripture from the previous week’s sermon as a discussion tool to guide in a spiritual formation* or general discussion session.

  • Peace/Ulrichs – every 2nd Thursday @ 7pm. with once monthly family potluck
  • Bills – Every 2nd Wednesday @ 7:30pm with sporadic potluck dinners
  • Women’s Group A with Carol Freeman – Every Monday @ 7:00pm at 101-1550 Dease St. 
  • Women’s Group B with Angela Wiebe – Every 2nd Thursday @ 10am; Meeting at the Habit
  • Men’s Group – ad hoc on Wednesday nights with Jax Cooper.

If you are a regular attender of Grassroots Church, we strongly encourage connecting with a group and making a commitment to belong. If you would like to sign up, please shoot an email to Sherilyn.L@grassroots.church with your request!

 

 

*Formation in Common or Direction in Common (DIC) “is a means of spiritual formation which brings together a group of fellow believers who have the goal to be present before God as a group using a spiritual text and who trust that God will reveal himself through common divine disclosures from the spiritual text.” Source
