Bible Study Opportunities
Small Groups
Deepening relationships can be a challenge when the world tries to spread us really thin. Bethlehem is a big community in a few different locations, so small groups help us stay connected in meaningful ways.
We can help you form a small group together with folks you already know or those with whom you share an affinity, interest, or stage in life. Groups have been formed around caregiving elders, a love for travel, musicianship, and smoking meat.
A few times each year, we curate small group curriculum to accompany the worship sermon series. It’s a chance to meet weekly or worship together with your small group. There’s also a digital library with a variety of resources for groups to use at their own pace. The Library for Small Groups is accessible to all group members, which is hosted on Google Classroom.
Your group can reserve meeting space at church, gather online, or take turns hosting. Your group decides when and how often to meet and what kind of study materials or rituals make sense for your members.
We encourage at least one member of your group to register by contacting Pastor Meta Herrick Carlson or Sue Lungstrom. They will keep you up to date about new curriculum, cheer your group on with ideas and support, and introduce you to potential members with similar interests.
