Small Groups

God exists in community.  We are created to be in community.  Something unique happens when individuals journey together.  Transformational relationships are a real possibility--by becoming a part of a small group.  A deeper relationship with Jesus, and others, is available by participating in a small group.  

    "For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." Matthew 18:20


We are designed to seek God and enjoy a relationship with him, and to communally connect with and generate spiritual life in others.  The small group experience is an essential ingredient for the Christian life--a shared life--Jesus modeled it.  Learn what it means to live in community as God intends.  Experience the joy of the journey.  Schweitzer is a church of small groups.   The groups listed below are currently meeting.
