Common Small Group Questions

WHAT HAPPENS AT A SMALL GROUP MEETING?

You have probably seen Small Group meetings and not even realised it. A small group looks like a bunch of friends at lunch, teams playing basketball, or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a small group is a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in Small Groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engage in life giving conversation and request prayer..

HOW OFTEN DOES A SMALL GROUP MEET?

Each small group is slightly different in their schedule, but usually they will meet once a week. Typically a small group will go through a cycle or season, where they may meet for a number of weeks, followed by a short break, before the next cycle or season begins. Small Groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life, so even if you can’t attend every meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.

WHERE DO SMALL GROUPS MEET?

JCC Small Groups meet all throughout the Joondalup and surrounding areas in homes, schools, workplaces, and the church building.

HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL SMALL GROUP STAY TOGETHER?

Most Small Groups meet for a season of a few weeks or a few months. As relationships form, groups usually choose to stay together for consecutive seasons, but new members are always welcome. 

What if i don't like the first small group i try?

The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in Small Groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone.
