Small Groups

At The MET, we believe that true growth happens in community. That's why we offer small groups for everyone—whether you're looking for a women's group, a men's group, or a group that's open to all. Joining a small group is a powerful way to deepen your relationship with God and build meaningful connections with others.

We'd love to help you find a group where you can thrive. Click the button below to connect with a leader from our Small Groups team—we're excited to walk this journey with you!

Small Group FAQ's

What Can I Expect?

Small Groups meet weekly in homes or other locations around town. Each group has a leader and an apprentice who lead the group through a biblically-based discussion. Groups vary in size but are common in purpose. They exist to help people experience a meaningful relationship with God and others. You can expect a warm, welcoming environment, great conversation, and the opportunity to grow spiritually.

Is Childcare Provided?

Every group is different. We want to help you get connected to the right one, so make sure to let us know if you would like to join a group with childcare. Some of our groups split the costs for a babysitter, some don’t offer any type of childcare, and some make other arrangements.

When and Where do Groups Meet?

Groups primarily meet in homes. We can help you find a group near you. Every group chooses its own day and time to meet. Browsing through the online listing, you’ll see those details for every group.

How Long do Groups Last?

There is no set amount of time to stay in a small group. The goal is experiencing meaningful relationship with God and others. As people within each group do grow and mature spiritually, we encourage them to step out and lead a new group. We call this ‘branching.’ Branching is highly encouraged and celebrated in our groups. Doing so makes room for more people to get in a group. It’s also a great way to live out The Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20)

What Will My Group Study?

Small groups aren’t bible studies. However, the bible is integral in the group experience. Curriculum is provided for each group.
