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.

Apprenticeship and Discipleship to Jesus are a long road, and there are many different things that are required to make the journey possible. We all need to know the Story of God and his Church, and how He reveals himself in the Bible. We all need to know the core tenets of what we believe. We all need help with spiritual disciplines and formation, to shape us into who we are meant to be.

At White Stone we offer groups, as well as classes and studies that aim to resource the church with respect to gaining a knowledge of Christian story, Christian Belief, and Spiritual Formation; and then stepping forward to put those things into practice.

Most of the groups you will see here list ROOTED as a prerequisite, and that is because we sincerely believe that if you have not done ROOTED, that really is the best way to start your journey in Groups at White Stone.

If you are looking for a specific type of group in particular, you can filter the groups listed here by group type, meeting time, and other criteria. You will also find the group facilitator's contact info if you'd like to reach out for more information.

If you are looking for something that is not listed here, we would love to help! Feel free to contact Cody at the link below!
