Table Groups

Table Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Table Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.

Leading a Table Group 

Once you complete our three-step Freedom Growth Track, you will have the opportunity to join the Freedom Team by becoming a Group Leader. 

Leading a Group isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others by giving them a place to connect. Hosting a group is simple; we give you essential tools to make your Table Group successful through Leadership Training and a directory where you can register your group so others can find it easily. We believe people’s lives are changed one semester at a time by moving one step toward Christ, and as a Table Group Leader, you get to play an important role in that process.
