Small Groups

Small Groups are essential to accomplish the mission and vision of Jesus for His church. Jesus created a small group as a primary method of transformation and multiplication for His first twelve disciples. The Early Church continued that model. At Brook Hills, we believe Jesus established a small group as the best method by which His disciples are transformed into His Image and the best method by which His message of redemption is to be carried to the nations. We encourage every adult to join or form a Small Group where you can actively make disciples of all nations together.

At Brook Hills, we have both open and closed adult groups. Open Groups are listed on our On-Campus and Off-Campus Directories. Anyone is welcome to visit an open group anytime. Closed Groups are groups that have closed for intentional disciple-making training as they prepare to multiply their group. After they multiply, they become open again are listed on the appropriate directory. Both open and closed groups are usually formed around similar seasons of life. Check out the directories below to find a group that best fits your needs. If you need help finding a group, you can contact us at .

Types of Small Groups

  • On-Campus Groups

    On-Campus small groups are always open for guests. Just pick out a group that best fits your season of life or need, and visit around until you find one that feels like home. Then begin attending that group regularly. There are on-campus options on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings, Tuesday mornings and evenings, and Wednesday mornings and evenings. On-Campus Groups that meet on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings will also have programming opportunities for all ages of your children. Sunday morning on-campus groups are always open.

  • Off-Campus Groups

    Off-Campus small groups that are listed in our directory are open for anyone to visit at anytime. You’ll want to identify a group that fits your season of life and needs, and then call the leader listed on the directory for directions to their group. Some groups rotate who will host the group each week so it’s always best to call weekly if you’re visiting around to find the right group for you. They’ll be glad to explain any childcare options for their group to you and let you know what they’re currently studying.

  • Women's Small Groups

    We have over 25 Small Groups designed for just women. For more information about Small Groups for women, contact Ashley Chesnut at .

Start Your Own Group

We encourage attendees at Brook Hills to consider forming their own Small Group around friendships that already exist, or by inviting neighbors, co-workers, or people you meet at Brook Hills to join your Small Group. If you do want to form your own group, we’ve provided some step-by-step advice to help you succeed and would love to come alongside you and coach you through the process and help you intentionally make disciples together. You can access the “Practical Steps to Starting Your Own Group” guide below. You can contact our local disciple-making staff for personal coaching at . If you would like for us to list your Small Group on our Small Group Directory as an open group, there’s a simple process that we’ll want to walk you through to do so.

Practical Steps to Starting Your Own Group

  2. Pray for God to bring people together to be in your group. Ask Him to bring people in your path to disciple
  3. Identify people that you are currently walking through life with; your friends, co-workers, classmates, neighbors, etc…
  4. Determine a meeting time, location, and type of group you feel led to lead (single, married, men, women, etc...)
