We believe that living our lives in Christ and being strengthened in the faith are best done while walking alongside one another. We have various small group offerings to help with that. Check them out below!

 Colossians 2:6-7

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Contact Pastor Meg at meg@fmcsb.org with any questions.

Bible/Book Study

WHAT IS IT?: A Bible/book study is a group that is focused on studying a book of the Bible or an important Christian theme or idea. A Bible/book study might require you to read or take notes before meeting together. Taking part in a Bible study allows you the chance to grow closer to God and study His Word with others. 

HOW MANY PEOPLE?: 8-15 people, depending on the study. 

TIME FRAME?: Most Bible/book studies run from September to December or January to May, while others are year-round. 

WHAT HAPPENS?: You discuss the assigned reading, wrestle with questions that come up, and grow in knowledge and understanding of your faith. You also have time to pray with, celebrate with, struggle with, and live life with your other group members. 

HOW DO I SIGN UP?: Times, leader contact info, and study descriptions can be found below. If you are interested in joining a group please contact the leader. If you have any questions about what group might be a good fit please contact Pastor Meg (meg@fmcsb.org).

Small Groups

We love our FM kids and families! Each Sunday, after the 10:15am service, families gather at the red picnic tables for some pizza and a great time of just being together while the kids play on the playground. Come down and get connected!

Supper Club is a chance for parents to gather once a month to share life together. The children play in the backyard with babysitters while we open the word and pray together. When the kids come back inside, we enjoy a potluck dinner. All are welcome!

All women are welcome to join this small group with Pastor Colleen. Looking at the narrative arc of the Old Testament, and how everything fits together. Then we will be studying 1 Peter. Please contact Pastor Colleen if you would like to attend. 

This group is designed for men who want to study the Word of God, talk about their perspectives, and learn from others. There is no homework required, so feel free to jump right in!  We will be studying the book of Genesis.

Join us on Wednesday nights at a local home for a study of Jesus in the Gospels. We will read Scripture aloud together, and immerse ourselves in the world and ways of God Incarnate. Bring your Bibles!

Join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the craft of songwriting together! We'll spend time learning, writing, sharing, and encouraging one another as we grow in creativity. Whether you're an experienced songwriter or just getting started, all are welcome!

Grow Groups

WHAT IS IT?: A Grow Group is  smaller and more intentionally focused on growth in your relationship with God and your understanding of the Christian faith. We’ve identified three possible options depending on the stage of your journey: 

1) New Believer: people who have just come to the faith 

2) Firm Foundation: more seasoned believers wanting to build a Firm Foundation

3) Spiritual Life: mature believers desiring to go deeper in their Spiritual Life. 

HOW MANY PEOPLE?: 2-5 people, depending on the track you choose. 

TIME FRAME?: New Believer (12 weeks); Firm Foundation (6-12 months); Spiritual Life (3-6 months)

WHAT HAPPENS? : You will meet on a weekly basis with your group to discuss the resources you have been studying and the practices you have been engaging in throughout the week. Your group provides encouragement and accountability as you take intentional steps to mature in your faith.
