CONNECTING IN COMMUNITY
HOUSE GROUPS
House Groups are where the life of Bethel Church meets the heart of community. These small, home-based groups are designed to help you connect with others, grow in your faith, and support one another through life’s ups and downs. Whether you’re new to Bethel or have been here for years, House Groups are a place for you to belong and grow.
WHY HOUSE GROUPS?
At Bethel, we call our small groups House Groups because they’re like inviting someone into your home for a meal — an invitation to relationship. These groups offer a space for people to connect with God and one another, welcoming both church members and those outside the church to experience Christ-centered community.
No matter your life stage — single, married, young, old, with or without kids — there’s a House Group for you. Groups are designed to be intergenerational and mixed-gender, though dynamics vary.
