Small Groups.

Our Vision for Small Groups

Small groups are the life of our church and the key to our growth as individuals. Our hope is that you’ll make friends and have a context to gather with a few others weekly for encouragement and mutual help as you seek to know and follow Jesus.

Small groups will meet weekly across the New River Valley. Each group will meet for about 2 hours. We know people are busy, so our groups will make sure to start and end on time.

Our small group gatherings usually begin with refreshments and socializing, followed by a discussion focused on life application of the Bible. We read out of the English Standard Version (ESV), so If you don’t have an ESV translation of the Bible we would be happy to provide one for you. If you’re visiting a small group, you’ll find that you can participate in the discussion as much or as little as you’d like with any amount of Bible familiarity. Groups end the evening by taking some time to pray for one another.

Our goal is that as you get connected at Ascent, one of the first things you’ll do is find a small group. You can see the different small groups we have below. They currently meet on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings. Don’t be afraid to visit a few groups until you feel like you’re in a place where you connect with the others there. You can message group leaders via the links below to get the meeting location and any other details you might need before you go.
