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.

in his image
-
WHAT: This group will use Jen Wilkin’s book “In His Image” for the study.
Sometimes we ask What is God’s will for my life? when we should really be asking Who should I be? The Bible has an answer: Be like the very image of God.By exploring ten characteristics of who God is―holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, patient, truthful, and wise―this book helps us understand who God intends for us to be. Through Christ, the perfect reflection of the image of God, we will discover how God’s own attributes impact how we live, leading to freedom and purpose as we follow his will and are conformed to his image.
