At The Peak, we believe that much of the work of discipleship – of actually following Jesus – happens when we are able to connect with God and with one another in smaller groups. These groups are made up of friends who will be able to grow in faith alongside one another, serve in the church and in the world, care for one another, and enjoy life together. As you adjust to changes and different seasons in life, your small group can be a constant for you, keeping you grounded in friendship and faith.
We want to help you find your people! The Peak Church launches new small groups multiple times a year, including online small groups, so check the News and Events page for enrollment dates. However, if you are interested in joining a small group outside of those times, see below for a list of small groups that are able to welcome new members right now. If you have any questions about small groups, please contact Pastor Katie at katie@thepeakchurch.org.
