If you’ve been around St. Mark’s for any length of time, you’ve probably discovered that we place a really high value on people being connected in group life. But if you’re new to the church or not participating in a small group, you might be asking yourself, “What’s the big deal?" Well, as St. Mark’s continues to grow larger, small groups become the best way to ensure relational connections on your spiritual journey. In a small group, you will learn truth from Scripture, sharing your thoughts, feelings, struggles and joys as you apply biblical principles to your lives. You will learn more about who God is as you watch Him at work in the lives of others and as others help you see His hand at work in your own life.

Why Small Groups?
At St. Mark’s, we believe that the small group environment is the best place for life change to happen as group members study biblical truth in the context of long-term relationships. Small Groups are where the truth of Scripture intersects with real life. This is the environment where friends can struggle together with faith issues and life events. It is also a safe place to investigate the claims Jesus made about himself and what it means to live a Christ-centered life.

Group Links
Group Links is a connecting event designed to help individuals explore what Group Life is all about. Group Links introduces individuals looking to join or start a small group with others wanting to connect in Group Life. It also assists existing groups - with space to grow - connect with others looking to find a group.

Filled with food, relationship building and helping information, Group Links is the “best” first step in getting connected in Group Life at St. Mark’s.

Small Group Starter Kit
This “Group Starter Kit” – created by others who have started small groups – is a simple guide designed to provide you with the necessary resources you’ll need to establish a healthy, dynamic small group… the kind of group where community and life change are the norm, not the exception.

As you work through this guide, you will discover that it is organized in an easy, step- by-step format that is simple to follow and takes the guesswork out of starting a new group. It’s also designed with a lot of common sense in mind. Each step has been carefully thought out and naturally leads you to the next. Certain steps you’ll only use once as you plan and launch your group. Other steps you will want to use time and time again to keep your group focused and moving ahead.
