Small Groups
The goal of small groups at All Saints is to see the life of Jesus formed within every person. Groups of 6-12 people gather weekly in homes and offices across Austin for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. Groups also seek opportunities to serve together, developing a vision for their part of God’s mission to the world.
Spring 2012 groups are forming now. To join a group, see the map below and simply email the indicated leader. Email Benjie if you have any questions or want to chat about a group recommendation.

How long will this last?
Small groups generally follow a semester schedule with Christmas and Summer breaks. Group sign ups occur at the beginning of each term. Be on the lookout for notices about signing up. After that, dig in, at least for the semester. If the group just isn’t working out for you, switch up next semester.
Led by?
Groups are led by trained All Saints members. Leaders attend quarterly leader meetings and receive ongoing support from pastoral staff. Interested in leading? Email Benjie.
New group?
New groups can form most any time. Find some friends, neighbors, collegues, people like you, people unlike you…gather them up and start a new group. To further discuss how you can help get a new group off the ground, email Benjie.
