Small groups are a great way to have fun, learn and grow, and build relationships. We connect in service to our church and community, sharing our faith in action for our neighbors and community. We connect with meals at parish events, concerts, special worship services, and celebrations.
There are many opportunities to get connected and involved while exploring issues that matter to you. Use the menu above to explore our many offerings. Get connected now!
Small Groups
at St. Bart's
Joining small groups and affinity groups is a great way to make new friends in a large church like St. Bart's. These friendships become valued relationships with shared experiences connecting our lives in the transformative love of Jesus Christ.
There are offerings every day of the week such as book groups, men's and women's groups, prayer groups, fellowship groups and more.
