COMMUNITY GROUPS
Our new series, FREEDOM, begins August 23rd. This is a 10-week series where we will learn together on the weekend and gather together during the week.
We do Community Groups to take care of people’s needs, and to help people connect and grow.
Freedom Church Groups are the way we gather during the week to be the people of Jesus in our community. We eat together, pray for one another, and share life together.
Our Group Finder usually opens multiple times throughout the year. You’ll be able to find a group that fits your season of life. However, if you’re not able to find a group that fits, you may want to consider leading a group. Attend our Formation Pathway to learn more.

FAQs
-
You’ve probably seen group meeting and not even realized it. A community group looks like friends at lunch, teams playing basketball, or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a community group is a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in Community Groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engage in life giving conversation and request prayer.
-
Our Community Groups typically meet for three semesters a year—winter/spring, summer and fall. During the semester, groups meet once a week. Community Groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life, so even if you can’t attend every meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.

Community Groups happen throughout Williston and surrounding areas of Northwest North Dakota.

Most Community Groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.

Childcare varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if childcare is available.

The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in Community Groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!

You don’t need to have it all together to lead a Community Group—you just have to be willing to let God use you. To host a group, complete the Formation Pathway, and fill out the Group Leader Application. Then, we give you a few essential tools like Community Group Leader Training, a directory where others can find your group, and support throughout the semester. We believe God uses Community Groups to change people’s lives, and as a Community Group leader, you get to be a part of that.
