GROUPS & DISCIPLESHIP
At CCC, we believe that relationships are foundational to living out the example set by Jesus. We are committed to creating strong bonds of community through Groups. Join a group and experience true community as you make meaningful connections with other believers here at our church.

LIFE GROUPS
Life Groups offer a safe environment for everyone to experience spiritual growth and relational support through community with others. Life Groups meet for an open-ended period of time; you’ll find Life Groups that have been meeting together for ten years and some who ebb and flow with the seasons of life. However, all groups have the same function: to commit to being an intimate space for accountability and partnership in each group members’ faith journey.
LIFE GROUP FAQS
When do Life Groups meet?
Life Groups meet at various times and days of the week and meet either every week or on specified weeks.
Do we study the Bible?
Yes! Most groups do a further in-depth study of the weekend’s worship service message but some groups choose to do book studies, narrowing on specific topics from the Bible.
Are groups for everyone?
Yes! We offer groups for everyone. We have groups dedicated to seasons of life, women or men, couples, singles, young professionals and more. You can search based on your criteria.
What if I'm new to groups?

If you are interested in leading a Life Group, please contact Pastor Gary Steffaniak so you can learn more about what leading entails and to get started on leader training.
WOMEN'S BREAKOUT BIBLE STUDIES
Women’s Breakout Bible Studies offers community with a twist. These Bible Studies are specifically targeted for women to connect together and are scheduled for a set period of time, usually 8-12 weeks, focusing on a particular study of a book of the Bible, biblical concept, or aspect of the Christian life. Bible Studies typically rotate with each season, with new studies and new people coming and going, often making it more transient than Life Groups.
WOMEN'S BREAKOUT BIBLE STUDIES FAQS
Are there only women's studies?
Yes, we currently have scheduled women’s Bible studies but be on the lookout for men’s Bible studies in the future.
When are Bible Studies offered?
Bible study times and days vary with each study. Some studies are offered in the mornings and some evenings. Choose which works best for your schedule.
What is a typical Bible Study like?
Bible Studies often have required reading and are accompanied by video teaching and small group discussions.
Are there Bible Studies for my season of life?
Most of our Bible Studies are multi-generational with women of all walks of life. However, we do offer specific seasons of life studies occasionally. Be on the lookout for those groups and you can email our team to stay updated on when they will be offered.
Are there breaks in Bible Studies?
Yes. Most of our Bible Studies are 8-12-week studies and are offered in the Fall and Spring. Most studies take a break for the Summer and Christmas season.

If you’re interested in leading a Bible Study, please contact the Discipleship Team and they will get you in touch with our Women’s Ministry leaders to work out schedules and studies.
CORE GROUPS
Core Groups are specific groups or courses dedicated to building the core values of Christian Life. Core Groups include Rooted which focuses on new Christians and building the foundations of Christianity in someone’s life and SmallCircle, which is an invitation to study the Bible in a more approachable and small setting of 3 people.
CORE GROUP FAQS
When are Core Groups offered?
Core Groups are offered at various times of the year, depending on the need. SmallCircle can begin at any time since it is a smaller gathering of only three people.
Is there a specific group to start with?
If you are new to the Christian faith, we recommend starting with Rooted. This course is dedicated to building up Christian rhythms for those who have a newer faith base. Rooted is also recommended for those who are looking to create better rhythms in their faith; you don’t have to be a new believer to join this course.
Rooted happens every Fall and Spring.
CARE GROUPS
Care Groups are designed for the parts of life in which emotional support and healing is needed. Rooted in biblical principles, Care Groups focus on life change such as addiction recovery, grief and divorce support, marriage strengthening and more.

We offer groups that deal with grief, divorce, marriage-enrichment, addiction support and more.
