Small Groups at Edgehill

Connection, community, and authenticity are deeply important to who we are as a faith community. We believe faith is not something we practice alone, but something we grow into together—through shared stories, honest questions, laughter, and showing up for one another in real life.

Small groups are one of the primary ways we live this out. In small groups, people gather to build meaningful relationships, reflect on spirituality and life, ask big questions, and support one another through seasons of joy and struggle. These groups are spaces where you don’t have to have it all figured out—just a willingness to be present and open.

Small groups are also a part of our DNA as United Methodists. At Edgehill, we continue that tradition in ways that are thoughtful, inclusive, and grounded in grace.

If you’re interested in joining a small group at Edgehill, the best first step is to come worship with us and get a feel for who we are. If you’re ready to go deeper, reach out—we would love to help connect you with a group where you can belong, be known, and grow.

Small Group FAQs

  • The purpose of small groups is to share life together, support one another in our faith and life journeys (however we define faith). We believe that there is something deeply sacred about life together.

  • This is largely up to the group to decide what they need most. What is recommended is that the group somehow engage in three practices together: 1. social time: “catching up”, 2. check ins: sharing highs and lows, 3. engaging in some kind of study that feeds and sustains our souls (what this is is also up to the group). Often these groups happen over dinner in homes.

  • This is also up to the group members. Groups may choose to meet weekly, every two weeks, or monthly.

  • Anyone! Some small group may be based on age or stage of life (e.g., young professional), others may be inter-generational, men’s/women’s group, LGBTQIA+, etc. It depends on what the group members are looking for.

  • Reach out to us and share what you’re looking for! Some small groups may be open to bringing in new members. Others may be big enough and desire to keep the group closed for the sake of intimacy of the group. If there isn’t an open group, or a group you want to join, we will explore starting a new one that fits your needs!
