City Church Small Groups
Real relationships. Real growth. Real community.
We’re More than Church Members. We’re Family.
You were designed by God to live in community. Finding those meaningful relationships happens best in groups, where you are surrounded by people who encourage and challenge you.
We're not just a church with small groups—we're a church OF small groups. With over 70 groups each semester, there's a place for everyone.
Types of Groups
/ 001
Small Groups
Small Groups are centered around a shared interest or activity.
- What do you love to do?
- What kind of interest or activity fuels you?
- What life stage are you in that largely defines your life rhythms?
These interest-based groups can involve bicycling, Bible study, or crafting. Join others who share the same passion and grow together in your relationships with one another and with Jesus.
/ 002
Community Groups
Food, fellowship, fun – what could be better? Come join a Community Group if you are new to City Church, want to make friends, or just desire to hang with others. You will snack, get to know each other, talk about Sunday’s message, and share prayer needs.
This is also a safe place to invite your pre-believing friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers who are open to meeting others and finding out about God.

Foundations Groups
If you are new to the Christian faith or just want a solid spiritual foundation to build on, join us to meet with just a few other men or women for this six-week group. Learn how to read the Bible, pray, grow strong in your faith, and hear from God. Begin your journey with God in this Group.
/ 004
Freedom Groups
Freedom Groups gather weekly to discuss the Freedom Small Group curriculum, which is designed to equip you to live the victorious and abundant life Christ came to give you. Freedom Groups build on the foundation of your faith in Christ to help you embrace the truth of God’s Word as it relates to your worldview, your past, your sin, your personal value to God, and your purpose in His Kingdom. This group will help you remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom.
Ready to Get Connected?
New groups start each semester, making it easy for you to get involved. We meet in a variety of places — homes, parks, restaurants, and coffee shops throughout Florida.
You'll never fully experience all City Church has to offer until you connect in a group.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a group?
A Group is a group of 3 or more people who meet regularly to connect with each other, care for one another, and grow by praying together and studying the Bible. We gather around our interests, including sports, the outdoors, hobbies, ministries, Bible study, or serving. A Group is made up of people who share similar interests, are in the same stage of life, or who want to learn from each other.
Is childcare available?
Childcare varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if childcare is available.
What’s the point of a group?
Groups have one simple purpose — to bring people together so we can CONNECT with each other, CARE for one another, and GROW together. We are Better Together, and we are happier too! Groups make life-changing relationships simple.
How do I lead a group?
We are so glad you asked! You can lead a Group by attending Discover City Church, and by attending Group Leader Training (link at the top of this page). Once completed, you will connect with a location representative to get your group ready!
