Community Groups
Threads has always placed a high value on small groups where participants can grow in deeper community with one another as we pursue discipleship and service in the way of Jesus.
All Community Groups at Threads follow a general pattern of 10-12-week sessions, followed by a break of several weeks. People are welcome to try different groups, and to switch groups from session to session. Our Community Groups are open groups—anyone is welcome to join at any time.
Community Group leaders may use a book or video resource to spur conversation during their gatherings, but these resources aren’t prescribed church-wide—different groups will use different resources depending on the interests and style of the leader and the group.
Weekly Community Group time is typically characterized by a warm and sociable atmosphere with a time of sharing and prayer, and time in discussion around a book or resource of some kind. Most groups share tea/coffee and snacks or dessert. Community groups may also participate in outreach and service together.
