Small Groups

At Redemption, we believe that small groups are one of the most practical ways that we experience faithful presence to God, self, and others. Our groups are designed to focus on the spiritual growth of our people. Our small groups are part of a larger model:

Spiritual Formation Classes — Pastor-initiated classes and book studies;

Connection Events — GroupMe-initiated (Men’s, Women’s, Youth), often last-minute chances to get to know other folks in our church;

Small Groups (Spiritual Formation Groups) — Member-initiated sermon discussions, Bible studies, or book studies;

Wanna start a group of your own?

If you’re interested in facilitating a small group, fill out our form here, and we’ll help you get started!

Current Small Groups

  • Men's Mentoring Group

    ONGOING - CURRENTLY AT CAPACITY

    Tuesdays from 6:30am -8am
    Zoka Coffee Shop Greenlake
    Organized by Kirk Castro

    We’re looking for men who want to go all in on Jesus and strive to take care of ourselves, our wives, our children, our church, and our community. No half measures.

    This group is ongoing and will generally be going through a book or Scripture.

  • Shabbot and What Not

    ONGOING - CURRENTLY AT CAPACITY

    Weekly on Saturdays from 3:00 - 9:00pm
    Organized by Mark and Melinda Dunford

    We'll open up a home at 3pm on Saturday each week. Come as you are able. Come, relax. My suggestion is to turn off your phone or set it aside (I like having music on, so we'll modify while honoring the intent). We’ll make a meal together. If it’s similarly therapeutic or enjoyable for you to cook, please join me.

    Play board games. Turn a game on. Talk. Share life. Speak into one another’s lives. Connect.

    I want to discuss either a book or the sermon series with the intent of finding something aimed at growing us as followers of Jesus.

    We will pray together.

    Naturally, we'll eat the food we cook.

    And, we'll rest... in community.

  • Meal and Sermon Recap

    ONGOING

    Weekly on Thursdays starting at 6:00pm
    Organized by Jack and Hailey Banask

    6pm - 7pm: "Family Dinner" - we will provide a meal (or if someone else ever wants to tag in, they of course can) for the group

    7pm - 8pm: Conversation - we will re-read together the Scripture from the previous weekend, have some discussion surrounding it, and then pray it out

    We want this group to be for all people; therefore, if we have a lot of families with kids who join the group, we are planning to do a rotating schedule of 2 people being downstairs hanging with the kids during the convo time so that everyone can be focused upstairs.

  • Sunset Supper Club

    ONGOING

    Weekly on Fridays at 6:00pm
    Organized by Levi & Kelly Davis

    Friday night hangs with a focus on warm soup and cozy conversation. Kids welcome.
