Small Groups

Community is built,
not found

We believe that faithful, weekly investment in the lives of others at small group will literally change your life.

We are a church of small groups not just a church with small groups. Our multigenerational and multi-ethnic groups meet throughout the city of New Braunfels and operate as our primary means of discipleship. As we seek to go deeper in our understanding and more specific in our application of God's word, we establish close-knit relationships that lead to life transformation.

Our small groups are intentional,
driven by a gospel purpose:
to make, mature, and multiply disciples.

GATHER

Each Small Group typically meets three weeks of the month and is led by a trained small group leader. Group meetings are normally two hours and include time for Bible discussion, accountability and prayer, as well as informal times to build relationships with others in the group. Small group members do not only fellowship once a week but continue the practice of mutual ministry outside of the weekly scheduled meetings.

Disciple

Disciple-makers are passionate followers of Christ who teach people in their small group how "to observe all that I (Christ) have commanded (Matthew 28:20)," for God's glory. God wants every professing believer to be continually growing as we worship Christ, walk with Christ, and work for Christ. Each Redemption small group member is committed to becoming a disciple-maker.

Multiply

All groups should also be prayerfully considering a way to extend the ministry of their small group through multiplication. Multiplication means eventually forming two or more groups so that others who are not yet in small groups can continue to find places to connect with a small group. Small groups fulfill the church's mission by participating in group ministries and by intentionally reaching out to the lost and unchurched.

"Being in small group has challenged my weaknesses, encouraged my faith, and blessed me with relationships that are not only uncommon and unexpected but also life-giving and just plain fun."

"When I think about my small group, it’s an invitation to have people hold me accountable to the things the Lord has called me to do. It’s inviting people to grow together, because growth rarely happens alone. Building a community that when hard things happen, we have people to keep us on the right path forward."

- Dustin

"Small group is the place where you truly do life together, in the highs and lows, with people who genuinely care about you. And those people intentionally invest in your walk with the Lord, by encouraging spiritual growth, accountability, and the deepening of your faith."

- Katie

"Small group is the backbone of Redemption. It is the primary ministry lifeblood for caring for our people. It’s where questions are asked and answered, sin is brought to light, faith grows, and people form lifelong connections rooted in Jesus—not just in “good times,” though we get to share those as well."
