Small Groups

Connect with a community that shares your values and interests.

At St. Andrew, we believe that a sense of belonging fosters personal and spiritual growth. Small groups are places to explore faith, deepen personal relationships, connect over interests, and serve in community with one another. If you are looking for belonging, you'll find it here.

St. Andrew UMC Small Group Interest Form

Grow Groups

Grow Groups are one branch of the small group ministry of St. Andrew UMC, designed to help people grow in authentic community, spiritual maturity, and service. Each group begins in The Greenhouse, a five-meeting experience where trust is built and covenant is formed—where a sense of belonging takes root. From there, groups are invited to continue into The Grove, an ongoing shared practice where those roots grow deeper in spiritual maturity through sermon-based conversation, shared life, prayer, and service. Grow Groups are a place to be known, to belong, and to grow—together.
