Join us for Tuesday night in-person small groups for kids in grades K–5! No need to pre-register!

TUESDAYS AT  7 P.M.

We now have a class for 4-year olds featuring worship and a message tailored for their age. This is not a small group, but is offered at the same time on Tuesdays.

If your group feels up for it, meet in person! Small Groups meet at a leader's or member's house, a public space or even the church. Meeting spots can be permanent or rotating. It's up to the group to agree on a plan that makes everyone comfortable.

Zoom is free for meetings up to 40 minutes (for longer than 40 minutes, you can sign up for a monthly subscription), and it offers the ability to text chat and upload resources during the meeting. There are breakout room options as well. Zoom can be easily downloaded on a computer, phone or tablet, and meetings can be scheduled with links sent to participants.

Google Hangouts is another option for group video meetings. It's easy to add people to a group and share a link for joining. The organizer of the group must have a Google/Gmail account, but other participants do not.

If you have Facebook Messenger (requires Facebook account), this is a great free option for your phone, tablet or desktop. To set up a group, click the messenger icon in the top right corner of your Facebook Messenger page. Choose all the people you would like to add to your video chat. Then, choose the camera in the top right corner to begin the live video chat.

Forgo video, and have a good old fashioned conference call! Free Conference Call offers international conference calls, breakout rooms, call control, and the ability to record. Simply log on to freeconferencecall.com, and follow the instructions.

WHAT HAPPENS AT A SMALL GROUP MEETING?
You’ve probably seen small groups meeting and not even realized it. A small group looks like friends at lunch, teams playing basketball or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, it's a small gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. When you join a small group, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engaging in life-giving conversation and requesting prayer.

HOW OFTEN DOES A SMALL GROUP MEET?
Our small groups meet fall, winter/spring, and summer. During these semesters, most groups meet once a week. These small group Bible studies 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.

WHERE DO SMALL GROUPS MEET?
Throughout the Naperville area, its neighboring suburbs and on Calvary Campuses

HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL SMALL GROUP STAY TOGETHER?
Most meet for a semester. This way, new people can join a small group easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple small group Bible studies each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.

IS THERE CHILDCARE AVAILABLE?
Childcare varies from group to group.

WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE THE FIRST GROUP I TRY?
This is why we encourage you to select a few small groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different small groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in Small Group Bible studies is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!
