Building relationships. Growing in Christ. Walking through life together.
God never intended for us to follow Christ alone. Community Groups are smaller gatherings where we can build meaningful relationships, grow in our faith, pray for one another, and walk through life together. Whether gathered around a table, studying Scripture, talking through Sunday’s sermon, or simply sharing life, these groups create space to know others—and to be known.
When We Gather
Community Groups meet on the first and third Sundays of each month. Most groups gather at 6:00 PM, with our Lunch Fellowship meeting at 1:30 PM.
On the second and fourth Sundays, adults are invited to gather at Hickory Grove for The Upper Room, a discussion series exploring important topics in Christian discipleship and how we faithfully follow Christ in everyday life.
Can’t meet on Sunday nights? We have a few midweek options that may be a good fit. Contact us for more info.

Lunch Fellowship | Lebanon
1st & 3rd Sundays | 1:30 PM
Come to the table! One of our families are opening their home for an afternoon centered around good food, meaningful conversation, and genuine community. The group shares lunch together, discusses the morning’s sermon, and spends time encouraging and praying for one another.
If you enjoy gathering around the table and digging a little deeper into what God is teaching us each Sunday, this is a wonderful place to connect.
Youth Ministry | Youth Room at Hickory Grove
Sundays | 6 PM
Sunday nights are a place for our students to build friendships, ask questions, grow in their faith, and discover what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.
Our youth ministry community group brings our students together for meaningful teaching, conversation, encouragement, and plenty of time to simply enjoy being together. It’s a place where students can belong, be known, and grow deeper in their relationship with Christ and with one another.
Youth Parents | Fellowship Hall at Hickory Grove
Sundays | 6 PM
Parenting teenagers brings unique joys, challenges, questions, and opportunities—and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
While students gather in our youth community group, parents are invited to connect in the Fellowship Hall for fellowship, study, encouragement, and prayer. This group offers a place to build relationships with other parents who are walking through the same season of life and to encourage one another as we seek to faithfully disciple our children.
Young Families | Lebanon
1st & 3rd Sundays | 6 PM
Life with little ones can be wonderful, busy, exhausting, hilarious—and sometimes all of those things in the same five minutes!
One of our Hickory Grove families have opened their home to families with young children for a relaxed evening of connection and community. This is a place for parents and children to build friendships with other families, encourage one another, and grow together as we seek to make Christ the center of our homes.
Mixed Adults | Mt. Juliet/Providence
1st & 3rd Sundays | 6 PM
Take Sunday’s message beyond Sunday morning.
This group gathers in the Providence area for fellowship, prayer, and conversation centered around the morning sermon. Together, the group will dig deeper into what was taught and talk about what it looks like to put God’s Word into practice throughout the week.
Whether you enjoy thoughtful discussion, want to build deeper relationships within the church, or simply want a place to grow alongside others, you’ll find a welcoming community here.
The Upper Room | Fellowship Hall at Hickory Grove
2nd & 4th Sundays | 6 PM
Some of the biggest questions Christians face don’t come with simple answers. The Upper Room creates space to talk about them together.
On the second and fourth Sundays, we gather for a discussion series focused on pressing topics in Christian discipleship and what it means to faithfully follow Jesus in the world around us.
Our upcoming series will explore technology—what it is, where it fits within God’s world, how it is shaping us, and how Christians can use it wisely and faithfully.
Come ready to think, ask questions, listen, and grow.
