Discipleship in Community Groups
Community groups establish a foundation for discipleship by providing a space to cultivate authentic fellowship and genuine faith. You will be formed as a disciple through studying Scripture, discussing insights and questions, praying together, challenging each other in real-life application, and serving our community.
About Community Groups
What do Community Groups study?
Groups walk through a Bible-based curriculum that covers different books or sections of the Bible each semester.
How often do Community Groups meet?
Groups meet weekly Sunday-Thursday following a school semester schedule. Typically, Fall groups meet September - November and Spring groups meet January - April. All groups take a break May - August for summer. In lieu of community groups during this time, we have a multi-generational Summer Bible Study in June & July hosted at the church for anyone to attend. It is a great place to meet new people over the summer break.
Where do Community Groups meet?
Community Groups meet mostly in host homes all across Galveston Island.
Is childcare provided?
For Community Groups that offer childcare, we encourage a payment of $35 per child each semester in order to offset the cost of childcare provided by Coastal. For Community Groups that do not offer childcare, options include splitting the cost of a sitter within the group or making individual arrangements.
