Nothing is better than community, especially during increased times of isolation when safe spaces to process, grow, and learn are hard to come by! We believe the intentional relationships you find in a small group are the ideal place to truly belong, celebrate the joys of life, weather the storms together, and become who God made you to be.

Still can't find a group?
Since new leaders are continuously being added to Group Finder every day, we encourage you to check back regularly. In the meantime, we'd love for you to join a weekly Kickoff Collective Virtual Event, designed to help those who have not yet found a small group meet others and reflect on the weekend message together.

New Small-Group Leader Training
Welcome! We’re so glad that you’re interested in becoming a Small Group Leader! Groups exist to foster Christ-centered communities, where every person of Willow Creek can belong to a small group and be supported as a follower of Jesus. The Groups team is committed to helping your small group thrive as you live out what we call “The 4 C’s”. We believe a healthy, Christ-centered Small Group thrives when it displays a combination of these 4 components:
CONNECTION | COMMITMENT | CONFESSION | CHALLENGE
Once you’ve filled out the Small Group Leader Interest Form and heard back from your Groups Pastor, you can watch these 5 short videos which will equip you to lead a Small Group.

The Content
During February and March, our entire congregation is joining together to learn and grow through our upcoming sermon series, where we’ll unpack in Small Groups what it looks like to follow Jesus with what’s coming NEXT and learn how we can live on mission to BLESS others. Click below each week to find the newest ‘Group Guide’, based around the weekend message.
You and your group can choose one of three ways to engage with the content. You can:
1. Discuss the message
2. Study it deeper
3. Explore through an inductive Bible study
You choose what works best for you and your group!
