don’t spend your FALL alonE. Groups open sept 21!
SO WHAT ARE SMALL GROUPS?
Here at The Project, we firmly believe that we are made for community. However, finding people to do life with can be easier said than done. It may be daunting to join a small group or meet new people, but you never know what can happen in your life when you take a chance.
Our hope is to provide you with life-giving opportunities to meet other young adults while exploring and growing in your relationship with Jesus.
At the end of the day, you need people and people need you.
FALL SMALL GROUPS REGISTRATION opens september 21st
Check out the preview catalogue below!
-
When it comes to small groups, less is more! We want you to get the most out of your group, so invest in one or two rather than signing up for too many. This also ensures that everyone gets a spot.
-
Some groups have a unique way to register, and others may not require you to sign up at all. Read through the descriptions thoroughly so you know what your next steps are.
-
Your leaders are putting in a great deal of time and effort into your group. It is imperative that you communicate with them so that they can plan accordingly. Is the group no longer a fit for you? Do you have to miss a meeting? No sweat, just let them know as soon as possible.
Please note that if you miss 2 meetings (bi-weekly groups) or 3 meetings (weekly groups) without communication, you will be removed from the group and your spot will be given to someone else.
-
Spots can be tricky to come by but don’t lose hope. Just join the waitlist and we’ll do our best to get you a spot.
-
We’re happy to help! Just contact us.
