PURPOSE
Grow groups are short-term, discipleship intensives designed to help you grow closer to Christ and deeper in Christ-centered community. They are focused environments for growth in community around a specific topic, spiritual practice, personal need, or life stage.
By participating in a Grow Group, you should:
- Experience transformation in a specific area of discipleship
- Gain practical tools for living missionally in everyday life
- Take clear next steps: deeper intimacy with God, joining a Community Group, serving in the church, or helping multiply disciples.
Grow Groups happen three times a year: September - November, January - March, and April - June.

Frequently Asked Questions
We don’t recommend it. Each Grow Group requires intentional engagement, and we want you to grow - not burn out. Pick one and give it your full focus.
Yes! Many people do both! If you plan to step away from your Community Group temporarily while completing a Grow Group, please have a conversation with your leader first.
Grow Group content is created, curated, or vetted by The Chapel Discipleship Team. Most groups use Scripture-based curriculum written for The Chapel. Occasionally, we use a topical book, video series, or outside resource if it aligns with our mission and theology.
Both are for the purpose of diving deeper into God's word alongside other people. Here's the difference:
- Grow Groups: Short-term, focused growth (6-12 weeks). These are for the purpose of specific transformation, tools, and next steps, and introduction to community.
- Community Groups: Long-term discipleship. These are for the purpose of whole-life growth, deeper relationships, and living on mission together.
Not necessarily, but it’s a natural next step. Grow Groups are often an on-ramp to the deeper relationships and ongoing discipleship offered in Community Groups.
Most Grow Groups are open throughout the year. You can sign up online or at any campus. Community Groups open four times each year, and are open for a 10 day window. If you need help finding the right group, a member of our team will help you find a group that fits your location and schedule.
No. Anyone is welcome to join groups. Membership is encouraged, but not required to participate. You can pursue membership through our Belong Classes.
