Small Groups


small groups God never intended for us to do life alone.  His design has always been for us to experience life with others through what we call the spiritual discipline of community. We believe so deeply in the power of community that we infuse this discipline into all of what we do. At pc3, small groups are our way of life.

Our small group ministry currently offers 3 specific ways to experience community:

Life Groups (LG’s)

Life Interest Groups (LiG’s)

Life Courses (LC’s)

Life Groups

Life Groups are gatherings of 3 – 10 people who get  together on a regular basis in order to grow in their love for God and others.

Life Groups are where you will find friendships, encouragement, and support in time of need as you grow in community with God and others.

We currently have groups for:

Adults (open to adult singles, dating or married couples)

Married couples

Men

Women

Teens (Check the “Crosspoint” tab for more info!)

Support and recovery (celebrate recovery ministry)

To get connected in one of our Life Groups, check out the Life Group Directory and see “More Information” below.

Additionally, Life Group Leaders may access the Life Group Leader’s Manual and Life Group Curriculum List for helpful information on leading a life changing small group at pc3.

Life Interest Groups

LiG’s are groups that gather around a specific life interest (like gardening, camping, surfing, knitting, motorcycles, ….)

People enjoy doing many different things together.  So, we thought, why not gather to accomplish the fun of the activity as well as building community with God and others?

Current Life Interest Groups include:

  • Bikers (motorcyclists)
  • Campers (those who enjoy camping)
  • Knitters and Stitchers 
  • Drama (Acting)
  • Moms & Mentors 

Stop by our small groups kiosk for more info on our LiG’s.

Life Courses

Life Courses are curriculum driven yet relationally based small group experiences.
In a Life Course, small groups of people gather for a short period of time (i.e. 4-10 weeks to study a specific curriculum.  We have Life Courses for people just checking out Christianity to people who’ve been following God for many years.  Examples of Life Courses include:
  • Parenting
  • Faith and Finance
  • Spiritual Gifts
  • Prayer
  • The Bible
Watch for announcements or stop by our Small Groups kiosk for more information.
