Small Groups

The primary purpose of Small Groups at GBC is to assist people to connect with the body of Christ. We offer groups that are designed for specific life-stages, as well as groups that are open to all ages and life-situations. These groups meet together for discussion and prayer on Wednesday nights in various homes through Nacogdoches from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

Children's activities are provided during small group meeting times. Children can be dropped off at the church beginning at 6:15 pm and need to be picked up by 8:30 pm.

Please review the list of available groups below and sign-up for the group you are interested in. If you have questions, need more help finding a group that interests you, or if you are interested in starting a new small group, please contact Kyle Easley.

Life Stage Groups - These groups are designed to connect people at similar points on life's journey so that they might learn and grow together through similar experiences.
