Small Groups

HTC Small Groups provide you with the chance to get past the small talk and into the good stuff. With options all over the area and meetings at various times during the week, there’s sure to be a group for you! We also add additional groups from time to time, so be sure to check back here to learn about new opportunities to connect. The group’s are divided into four categories: Geographic (listed by town), Topical (listed by topic), and women’s and men’s groups. Please scroll all the way down the page to see all the options.

  • WHAT: This semester we'll be reading Daring Joy by Nicole Zasowski. Group starts January 28th.

    About Daring Joy: Joy can feel risky. When you've experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. If you ever feel like it's safer not to embrace joy at all than to hold something that might break, you're not alone. Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture—one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances.
