Small Groups Frequently Asked Questions
What is a small group?
A small group is designed to help you connect, build trust, study the Bible, and grow in Christ with others at Mosaic Church. There will be opportunities to get to know others in a deeper level and do life together.
What takes place in a group meeting?
Each group will vary in how they do things. A group will typically begin with a time to catch up or hang out. It will then segue into a time of prayer. This is an opportunity to pray for one another. Then, the leader will facilitate a time of Bible study or a selected topic. There will also be elements of serving in the community.
How often do groups meet?
Some small groups will meet every week and others will plan for every other week.
How long does a group meeting last?
A group will typically meet for approximately 90 minutes.
Where do groups meet?
Small groups meet in people’s homes. Members can choose to host in their homes if that is something they’re open to.
What about childcare?
Childcare will depend on each group. Sometimes families will hire their own sitters. Another solution is to hire a sitter for the entire small group.
Will I be asked to pray out loud?
While we believe that praying together is really important, you will not be asked to pray out loud if you are not ready.
Will I be called on?
Small group is most effective when everyone participates. However, small group leaders will not make anyone talk if they are not ready to share.
