SMALL GROUPS

 
Groups at Bethany Green Lake reflect the intention that we were created for relationship with God and one another. We believe that part of being made in the image of God is the need for community. Small Groups are communities focused on sharing life with each other through fellowship, prayer, and Bible study, and based around sermon discussion. These groups run throughout the academic school year. Groups meet from October through the end of May. Sign up using the map below!

Art, Faith, & Social Justice (meeting twice per month)A small group for artists and non-artists alike pursuing God's call for social and environmental justice through creative expression and activism. This is a time of extraordinary division in our country and a critical opportunity to pursue truth, healing, and transformation through Christ. Our group will examine issues through a creative lens, including the sharing and discussion of art, and provide a restorative, prayerful environment in support of each member's personal calling to serve. We are a Bethany Community Church-centered small group but will accept any who feel called to attend regardless of church affiliation or faith. At present, we do not offer childcare, but hope to do so in the new year. If interested, please let us know! Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.Every 2 weeks: Sundays at 7:00 PMGreen LakeNo childcare
BIPOC CommunityOur BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) gatherings bring together people of color, families of color, and interracial families across all of Bethany's locations in a shared space where we can connect, share experiences, and build community. We host both small groups, and quarterly meals. At each gathering, we create connections among those at Bethany who have the shared experience of holding the beauty and tension of racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity within themselves and their families. As we foster this sense of belonging, our whole church is strengthened as the beautiful, diverse Body of Christ! We also know that stepping into a new space can feel like a big step. If you’re interested in joining or want to learn more, we’d love to connect with you beforehand. You can reach out to ask questions or connect with a leader. Our hope is that no one walks in feeling unknown, but already welcomed. Green LakeNo childcare

Post College/Early CareerThe Post-College/Early Career group, or PCEC, is a community designed specifically for young adults who are navigating the exciting yet challenging transition from college life to the early stages of their professional careers. We aim to foster a supportive environment where members can share experiences, explore their faith, and build meaningful relationships. We gather regularly throughout the year both in larger monthly hangouts, and in small groups for uplifting discussions, engaging activities, and opportunities to serve within our church and the broader community. Whether you're starting your first job, pursuing further education, or figuring out your next steps, this group provides a space to connect with others who understand the unique pressures and joys of this life stage. Join us as we seek to grow in faith together, support each other in our journeys, and make lasting friendships that strengthen our community. If any of this sounds intriguing, let us know and someone will reach out to you about upcoming opportunities! Green LakeNo childcare
