Why Join A Church Small Group?

Groups are one of the most meaningful ways people experience community at City United Church. While Sunday services bring us together, groups create space for deeper connection, conversation, prayer, and care throughout the week.

Some groups gather around the Bible and spiritual growth, while others focus on encouragement, shared life experiences, or serving together. Every group is different, but the heart is the same: showing up for one another and growing together.

That’s completely okay. Sometimes it helps to talk things through with someone first. Our pastors and group leaders are here to listen, answer questions, and help you find a group that feels like a good fit for where you are right now.
