At ACC, we believe that spiritual growth happens best in community. Our Small Groups are designed to help you connect with others, grow in your faith, and find support in every season of life. Beginning this fall, we’ll be offering three types of groups – Connect Groups, Growth Groups, and Care Groups – each designed to meet different needs and stages of your journey.

See full group descriptions & sign-up below!

​​Connect Groups – Find Community Through Shared Interests

​Not all groups have to feel like a traditional Bible study to build meaningful relationships. Connect Groups bring people together around common interests—whether that’s hiking,  board games, food, or something else entirely! The focus is on forming relationships and building community in a fun, relaxed setting. These groups are perfect if you’re new to the church, looking to make new connections, or just want to do life with others.

​​Growth Groups – Deepen Your Faith and Biblical Understanding

​If you’re looking to grow spiritually and learn more about Scripture, Growth Groups are for you. These are our more traditional Bible study groups, centered on learning, discussion, and spiritual formation. Whether you're new to the Bible or have been studying it for years, there's a place for you to go deeper with others.

​Care Groups – Walk Through Life’s Hard Seasons Together

​Life can be overwhelming at times—but you don’t have to go through it alone. Care Groups are designed to offer hope, support, and healing for those walking through specific life challenges or transitions. This fall, we’ll launch with Grief Share, a group for those experiencing the loss of a loved one. We hope to add more Care Groups in the future! ​

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief.
