Small Groups
You Were Created for Community
We all long to be known, supported, and surrounded by people who truly care. But in today’s busy world, it’s easy to feel isolated—even in a crowd. At Encounter Church, we believe God designed you for meaningful relationships, and Small Groups are where that begins.
THREE STEP JOURNEY
You Don't Have to Walk Alone
We understand how hard it can be to find genuine friendships and spiritual encouragement. That’s why Small Groups exist—to help you build real relationships while growing in your faith.
In a group, you’ll find people who will pray with you, celebrate with you, walk through challenges, and help you become more like Jesus.
Small Groups are small gatherings who meet regularly to study God’s Word, share life together, and encourage one another in faith. Groups meet in homes, coffee shops, and online—throughout Bessemer and the surrounding areas.
Whether you’re single, married, a parent, a new believer, or just looking for friends—you belong here.
Why Join a Group?
Joining a Small Group is one of the best ways to grow in your faith and build real friendships.

made for connection
God created us for relationships—not isolation. In a Small Group, you’ll find authentic friendships, people who care, and a place where you truly belong.

You’ll Grow Spiritually
Faith isn’t meant to be lived alone. Groups are where you can ask questions, study God’s Word, and apply it to real life—with people who encourage your growth.
