SMALL GROUPS

Small Groups are the core space for involvement in Illini Life.


These are groups of 5 to 20 people that often (but not always) share a common geography, common stage of life, or common interests who meet weekly. These groups are about doing Life together WITH Jesus in the Word and prayer, living LIKE Jesus as we learn to care for one another, and FOR Jesus as we live out the Christian mission of making disciples. Each week, you'll gather for a time of a Bible study discussion, prayer, fellowship (that's Christian for hanging out), and refreshment in The Lord.


Once a month, on a Sunday after worship, our small groups all gather together in a home in our church for a time of food, communion and deeper across groups community.  We call this time Breaking Bread. Be sure to watch as each semester starts for the schedule of these can't miss meal times.
