Group Hosts Fall 2026: Important Info
Hello Small Group Hosts!

I can't believe another summer has come and gone! I hope you've had the opportunity to rest, recharge, and enjoy some special time with family and friends.

As we begin preparing for our Fall Small Group semester, I want to personally say thank you. Thank you for investing your time, opening your homes, serving others, and helping people find connection and community. Your willingness to host and invest in others truly makes a difference!

I'm excited to share that we have several new and fun ideas planned for this fall, and I can't wait to tell you more in the coming weeks!

As you begin thinking about the new semester, I encourage you to spend some time in prayer and ask God what He is calling you to lead/host. Remember, hosting a Small Group doesn't have to be complicated! Some of the best groups are built around things you already enjoy doing.

Need a few ideas?

  • Coffee, Lunch, or Dinner groups
  • Walking or Exercise Groups
  • Movie Nights 
  • Book Clubs
  • Journaling or Crafting
  • Pickleball, Hiking, or other activity based groups
  • Prayer Groups
  • Bible Studies 
  • Family Gatherings
  • Or simply creating a space for people to connect and build friendships!

Whatever your passion is, God can use it to bring people together and help them grow in their faith and find community with others.  Groups are all about connecting and growing. 

Important Fall Dates

  • August 9:          Group Submission Forms Open
  • August 23:        Group Submission Deadline
  • August 30:        Small Group Launch (all campuses)
  • September 6:    Fall Groups Begin
  • November 22:   Fall Groups End

If you'd like to continue your summer group into the fall, just let me know!

Also, if you know someone who has a heart for people and may be interested in hosting a Small Group this semester, please send them my way. I'd love the opportunity to connect with them and answer any questions they may have.

I'm so thankful to serve alongside each of you, and I truly believe God has amazing things in store for this fall. Together, we'll continue creating places where people can belong, build lasting friendships, and grow closer to Christ.

If you have any questions or need help brainstorming a group idea, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always here to help!

I can't wait to see what God does this semester!
