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.

Types of Groups
-
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.
-
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.
-
Connect Groups - These are groups of about 2 to 4 people that meet for mentoring or discipleship. These groups are closed to new members and don't take attendance. 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 materials to use for a Bible study and will check in with the group a few times during the semester to see how things are going. Membership in the church is not required to lead one of these groups.

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.
