At Southstone Church, we believe that our journey in growing to be more like Christ is best when experienced in community with others. One of our values as a church is “Spiritual Family” – where you can know others and be known. That’s why we encourage everyone to become part of a Southstone Small Group. We present four “types” of small groups through the acronym A.C.T.S. (Action, Care, Topical and Sermon Based). Each of these small group types is explained in more detail below, and each description includes a link where you can check out the different groups that are ready to welcome you as part of the family.
Our small groups are on a break for the summer! More information about our upcoming fall semester will be on its way over the next few weeks.
Small Groups Types
-
Are you wired to “do”? Do you enjoy working alongside others to make the world a better place? Are you naturally drawn to opportunities for fun and fellowship? When someone says, “Let’s roll!” do you think, “Count me in!”. Suppose that sounds like you, then a Southstone Action Group might be the perfect fit. In alignment with our value of “Excellence,” Action Groups at Southstone are as diverse as those who form them, following their God-given interests and passions while building lasting relationships with like-minded people.
-
Sometimes, life isn’t a smooth ride. If you are in a season where you need to experience healing in the fellowship of others facing their own life challenges, then we suggest you check out one of Southstone’s Care Groups. Aligning with our value of being “Life-Giving,” Care Groups are small, confidential, and intimate, led by compassionate and caring people who know where you are coming from because they’ve been there, too.
-
Do you love spending time with others digging into the newest Christian books? Are you energized discussing the latest from Christian thought leaders? Do you long to be part of a small community that seeks to grow through study, discussion, and fellowship revolving around God’s Word? If aligning this way with our “Biblical” value energizes and encourages you, you might find your small group connection in a Southstone Topical Group.

Do you find yourself wanting to dig deeper into the weekly sermon? Do you love having fun and fellowship, all while engaging in great spiritual conversations? Are you looking for a circle of friends in the same life season? If that describes you, then you should check out our Sermon-Based Groups. In alignment with our value of being “Generational,” Southstone Sermon-Based Groups run the gamut of all stages of life, from students to young adults to young families to the more “seasoned” among us … and everything in between!
