We are so glad you’re interested in getting involved in a group at White Stone!

The truth is, we need people. As hard as it is for many of us to admit, we are not as self-sufficient as we think we are. And in our experience, isolation is where a vibrant walk with Jesus goes to die. That’s one reason why the Christian faith is not something to be done individually— it is a faith made to be walked out in the context of community.

The truth is that no one can be truly formed and molded into a full disciple of Jesus by only showing up and “consuming” a Sunday morning worship service every week. Groups offer a place where followers of Christ can grow closer to Jesus and closer to one another. They are a place where people can learn to carry each other’s burdens. They are a place where people can grow together in the daily rhythms that mark a follower of Jesus: studying the scriptures, prayer, repentance, sacrificial generosity, service, telling their stories, and worship. They are a place where lifelong friendships are formed. And most of all, they are a place where we gradually go from being consumers of the church to being truly connected with the church.

We think new people connect best alongside a group filled with other new people, and we launch new groups like this twice a year with an experience called ROOTED. We launch new ROOTED groups every January and August. If you’re looking to get involved at White Stone we believe that joining a ROOTED group would be your best next step. 

If you’re looking for a group experience to get involved with immediately, we are currently offering two open groups that are meeting on Sunday mornings before our service. Check out their info below:

This is a mixed group that is open to men and women, and people of any age group. It follows more of a classroom format with an emphasis on really gaining a robust knowledge of the Bible. Randy is one of our elders and is one of our most gifted Bible teachers. Come by before the service on Sunday morning and grow in your knowledge of the word!

This is a women’s group that is open to women of all age groups. They meet from 9 to 10 on Sunday mornings, with a little bit of time built in afterward to grab a cup of coffee in the lobby before the service begins. Stacy is one of the most pastoral people on our staff. Come and see how God can speak to you through the beautiful expressions of worship we have in the Psalms!
