A Place to Belong and Believe

Being in community plays a large role in spiritual growth. Sandhills offers a variety of groups to help you #GetConnected. Our groups operate on a 2-semester (Fall and Spring) format with each semester lasting about 12 weeks. The groups study a variety of topics--from books of the Bible to subjects dealing with Christian living.

There are 3 Types of Groups You can Join

  1. Community Groups - These are traditional Bible studies that meet regularly and focus on the study of the Bible, prayer, fellowship, caring for one another, and outreach.
     

  2. Activity Groups - These are organized around common interests like working on cars or doing crafts but with a spiritual component. The expectation is that leaders will at least provide a devotional and have a time of prayer in addition to their activity.
     

  3. Sandhills University - Sandhills University is the place to go deep in your relationship with the Lord and with your understanding of the Bible. Our classes are often taught by some of the most prominent Bible teachers and professors in Columbia. Tuition is $50.00 per person or $85.00 per couple, and includes all class materials, books, lunch, and childcare.

Community Groups

Community groups are a key aspect of our church community; they help a large church to feel smaller. These are traditional Bible studies that meet regularly and focus on the study of the Bible, prayer, fellowship, caring for one another and outreach.

Connect Groups

These are groups of about 2 to 4 people that meet for mentoring or discipleship. Some examples of these groups are a family that wants to commit to doing a Bible study together for a semester, a couple who wants to process a book on marriage together, or 2 people that meet for accountability. Pastor Tom can suggest material.

Personal or Group Outreach Idea

One way we show the Love of Christ in a practicle way is through Good News Care Packages. Assemble some of these bags for yourself or with your group, and keep them in your car. The next time you see a panhandler or a homeless person, give them one. These packages will help meet both practicle and spiritual needs.

Activity Groups

Activity Groups are organized around common interests (ie, crafts, fishing, fitness, etc...) but also have a spiritual component. In addition to the activity, there is devotional time & prayer.
