JOIN A SMALL GROUP

Spiritual growth. Support through life’s ups and downs. Meaningful community.

Small groups provide this and so much more. They help us to experience the purpose and power of Christ in our lives, dig deeper in our faith, and grow closer to God and others.

Small Group Launch has arrived!

Now is your chance to register to join a Small Group this season. From groups for women, couples, singles, young adults, and more, we know there's a place for you. You can even join a Racial Justice group centered around LaTasha Morrison's book Be the Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation. No matter what Small Group you choose, we believe that being part of one of these smaller communities is key to getting connected and growing in your faith in 2023. Registration closes on February 19.

Meet your leader!

This year, Small Groups will kick off with a meet-and-greet where you can meet your new Small Group leaders face-to-face before your first get-together. Mark your calendar for February 26 from 10:30 to 11 am in the Great Hall. We can't wait to see you there!

For more information, please contact Amy Berry, Groups Lead (berrya@hpumc.org), or Amy Gutmann, Groups Coordinator (gutmanna@hpumc.org).

Take Root Small Group Curriculum

In Sequoia National Park in California, you will find groves of some of the largest trees on earth. The largest, General Sherman, stands at around 275 ft tall and is estimated to be around 2,300-2,700 years old! How could these trees withstand the weather, fire, and other seasons of their long life to sustain continued growth?

The sequoia tree cannot point to a deep root system (which is only about four feet deep) as the reason it has stood tall through the seasons of life, but rather its interdependence on the surrounding trees. They are only naturally found in groves surrounded by other sequoia trees. They don’t grow alone, and neither do we.

How do I use this guide?

This curriculum has been designed to help your group start well. Through a series of intentional activities and conversations, this curriculum will help you set a strong foundation for your new small group and help you foster authentic community with one another.
