don’t spend your SUMMER alonE.
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.
Summer SMALL GROUPS REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
Please go through the catalogue to see which groups could be a good fit!
-
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.

This group will be a bi-weekly Bible study where we will gather together, read scripture and unpack the meaning and possible questions we have about what we are studying that day. I will also encourage discussions and group prayer throughout the evening to further develop our fellowship and hearing God’s voice in our lives. This is for people who would like to meet with other committed believers and grow in their faith alongside those with similar goals. If anyone is interested, I will also be hosting activity nights throughout the summer on the off weeks where we can participate in casual hangouts outside the church setting. My only request is that you come with a mindset of growth in your relationship with Jesus. I look forward to seeing how God moves in our lives this summer.

Welcome to Scripture & Hangs! the ultimate bi-weekly small group for young adults who want to grow in their faith and have a blast doing it! Every other Sunday, we’re diving into The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer — and trust us, this series is a game-changer. It speaks directly to the chaos of modern life. Between school, work, social media, and trying to keep up, we’re constantly moving — and constantly worn out. Comer doesn’t just call out the problem; he gives us a way out. This study will help you slow down, breathe again, and actually live like Jesus — with peace, purpose, and presence. If you’re tired of the hustle and craving real rest, this is for you. And on the off Sundays? We’re turning up the fun. Think movie nights, food crawls, bowling, hikes, game nights, and big summer events happening all around the city. Every hang out will be something new & exciting! This is a great small group to build new friendships & be in a fun community while we all grow our faith together! Come for the growth. Stay for the memories. Let’s make this summer unforgettable!

We’ll be taking a deep dive from Sunday messages at the Project!

We’ll meet at various cafes in the city so we can enjoy some coffee while we dive in!
