At UCM, Small Groups usually consist of at most ten people who meet weekly (in-person or hybrid) to share their faith and life experiences and encourage one another. Small Groups are geared toward a threefold purpose of belonging, building up, and bearing fruit to foster Christ-centered community within the larger church. Through Small Groups, people at all stages of their spiritual journey are learning to live and love just as Christ did. These groups cultivate deep relationships that allow individuals to let their guard down, dialogue, share their struggles and victories, and pray with and for one another. Transformation happens because trust, friendly accountability, and camaraderie flourish, which flows outwardly.
