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 with flexibility in mind, allowing groups to fit into the natural rhythms and seasons of life.

Most groups are organized into one of three different windows (Winter, Summer or Fall) and are designed to promote Connection (getting to know people in the church), deepen Spiritual Formation or Mentorship. Groups organize around a common interest or activity. Facilitators don’t need to be experts, but rather be someone who is willing to schedule and organize the group.

You can see examples of groups listed below. Let us know if you have questions or if you’d like help getting connected to one of these groups.

It’s time to submit your ideas for Spring Small groups!

May 19th kicks off our six-week Spring Small Group window, which runs through early July. This is an excellent opportunity to dive into a book you’ve been interested in reading or organize a series of dinners to get to know folks better. When you’re ready, submit your idea through our form here.

If you have any questions or want to talk through your idea, reach out to mark@redemptionseattle.com.

  • Women’s Brunch with A Brief Theology of Periods

    Once Monthly on Saturdays starting at 10:00am
    Organized by Megan Rowland

    This group will meet one Saturday a month (3 Saturdays total) to enjoy brunch together and talk about Rachel Jones’ A Brief Theology of Periods. While men and women would both benefit from this book, this group will be limited to women. Any age is welcome.

    “The average woman has 500 periods in her lifetime. Whether yours are mildly annoying, utterly debilitating, or emotionally complicated, most of us have at one time or another asked: Why?!

    This warm, light-hearted, real, honest, and, at times, surprising book gives a biblical perspective on menstruation and a whole lot more. Beginning with periods, Rachel Jones takes readers on an adventure in theology, weaving together wide-ranging reflections on the nature of our bodies, the passing of time, the purpose of pain, and the meaning of life.” - from the back cover of “A Brief Theology of Periods.”

  • Create Your Own

    If you’re not seeing something that works for your schedule or aligns with your interests, talk with us. There is still time to add a group. It can be as simple as gathering for dinner or diving into a book that you’ve wanted to read. Think about things that fit into your natural rhythms and invite others in.

    When you’re ready, fill out our form here and we’ll get your group added to our site.

  • Alpha Groups

    Weekly on Thursdays at 6:30pm

    Alpha is a 10-week course that allows people who are curious about the teachings of Christianity to engage and ask questions in a no-pressure environment about the faith and how Christians see the world.

    Alpha courses started gaining momentum in London in the early 1990s and has been hosted all over the world in a variety of languages and Christian traditions. Our staff had the opportunity to preview some of the discussions this summer and we’re excited about the content.

    As a church, we’re hosting two tables and we still have a few empty chairs. If you know of someone who might be interested in joining you at Alpha (or want to experience it yourself), please register through our website or shoot an email to Mark or Alex.
