Small Groups

We are launching our Fall Semester of Small Groups! These groups will be the perfect place to grow in relationships with one another. Some groups are studies, some are interest groups, or even have games or outings; wherever you can connect with people! It’s never too late to join a group. Contact Shelton Hunter for more information.

  • Devoted is a connect group for college age and up! Our inspiration for this group is from Acts 2:42, “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” We will be meeting every other Friday, starting in February, to do exactly that - Bible study, worship and prayer, and breaking bread by sharing a meal together. Join us at the Hobbs House and bring a friend - all are welcome as we dive deeper together in our Devotion to the Lord! Contact Pastors Michell & Meredith Hobbs for more information at (352) 238-6505.

  • Come with me as we paddle into the sunset or paddle the Weeki Wachee. We may even catch a fish or find a few manatees. I will have a special class for beginners emphasizing safety first. Learning to kayak is easy. Soon you will be paddling for miles on the water. I will also have a class teaching basic fishing skills from a kayak. Kayaking connect group will be a great time to create memories with friends and find new friends. This group will meet twice a month. I have a few kayaks if you need to borrow one.

  • This is an action group. This is a ministry group. This is not a fellowship group. This is not a study group. We are open to the Lord's leadership.

    Making hospital visits.

    Sending encouraging cards to the sick.  

    Planning meals for the sick and injured.

    Home visits for shut-ins.

    Other avenues where the Holy Spirit leads us.

  • The goal of this group is to get

    together, share some meals, laugh,

    make new-lasting friendships, and

    love the Lord.

    Often, we forget that although

    seasoned, we still have a lot to offer!

    Psalm 71:18

    “And even when I am old and gray, O

    God, do not forsake me, until I

    declare Your strength to this

    generation…”

    This group is not for the faint of heart

    but for anyone 55 and older, who

    although is thought of as a senior

    citizen, still feels like a kid-at-heart.

    Come on!!!! Let’s get together and

    enjoy the fellowship and participate in

    the FUN activities. Ya never know

    what we’ll be doin’ next…
