Find A Group Thats Right For You!

We believe that lives are transformed when we’re surrounded by a community that encourages, supports, and challenges us to grow in our relationship with Christ. At Woodhaven our community groups are how we come together during the week to share meals and be the hands and feet of Jesus in our neighborhoods. We would love to help find the right group for you!

Frequently Asked Questions?

What are Community Groups?

A Community Group is a small gathering of people who meet regularly to grow in their faith, build relationships, and serve others. It’s a place to connect with others, study God’s Word, pray together, and support one another through life’s ups and downs.

Who can join a Community Group?

Anyone is welcome to join a Community Group! Whether you’re new to faith, a long-time believer, or simply exploring, there’s a group for you. Our groups are open to all ages and life stages.

When and where do Community Groups meet?

Community Groups typically meet twice a month at various times and locations, including homes, church facilities, or places around Byron Center. We have a variety of community groups that meet at different times, spaces, and days to try and accomodate everyone’s schedule.

Do I need to be a member of the church to join a Community Group?

No, you don’t need to be a member of Woodhaven to join a Community Group. We welcome anyone who’s interested in connecting with others and growing in their relationship with Jesus.

Are children allowed at Community Group meetings?

What if I can't commit to every meeting?
