Community that is focused on Christ and intentionally opening God’s Word together will be a place that is shaped by God’s Word, focused on helping one another become more Christ-like, and rooted in biblical truth. Castleton Small Groups must be committed to studying, memorizing, counseling and obeying the Word of God together. This is the foundation of everything else we will seek to do within Small Group community at Castleton Community Church.

When people live in genuine biblical community, they desire to see those close to them mature in Christ. In order to grow in Christ-likeness, we must address the heart and not simply the surface level issues. Therefore, our Small Groups ought to be a setting where each member is zealous for personal holiness the holiness of their brothers and sisters in Christ. This requires the group to ask hard questions of one another and not settle for staying on the surface.

Small Group is more than a regular event on your calendar. By joining a Small Group, you are investing in biblical community. We desire that our Small Groups are living life together and committing to walking alongside each other through good times and hard times —not just during the group meetings. This might mean group dinners, group outings, an email or text to connect during the week, or being prompted by the Spirit to pray for and encourage a group member.

Castleton Small Groups meet at least twice a month. Life together requires time together, and we want our groups to have it.
