Growth Groups

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Proverbs 27:17

Growth Groups are in-home Bible studies which meet in various homes throughout the area on Sunday afternoons and evenings. These groups provide a warm and friendly environment in which to study the Bible and are a great opportunity to get to know other people from the church. A typical meeting will begin with a time of Bible study, led by a trained Growth Group leader, followed by a time of fellowship and snacks. 

Growth Groups at SCBC

Growth Groups exist to help us build meaningful connections where we can process life together through the lens of Scripture. They’re organized primarily by geographic area to encourage relationships that extend beyond Sunday services and weekly meetings, into the everyday rhythms of life.

Check out the groups below for information, availability, and geographic area:

Corporate Gatherings

We gather weekly as a church family for worship on the Lord's Day. This is the foundational "group" meeting.

Small Group

This is the primary Growth Group meeting format.  Groups consist of 12-20 adults and their children. They meet in area homes for a time of discussion based on the sermon.

Men's and Women's Group

While the main group gatherings are the foundation for Growth Groups, we want to encourage intentional relationships within the groups that pursue discipleship through honest discussion, confession, and encouragement.

1.2.1 Bible Reading

Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. That's a beuatiful promise from God. How do we draw near to God? One of the primary ways is through spending time in God's Word with others. Make time in your life to spend an hour with a friend in God's Word. Two meetings a month.

Family Time

Several times a year the groups will get together with no agenda other than to enjoy spending time together.
