CAMPUS GROUPS | HOME GROUPS | MEN’S GROUPS | WOMEN’S GROUPS

At Centreville Baptist Church, we consider our Community Groups our primary vehicle for cultivating spiritual growth and vitality. Campus Community Groups

Home Community Groups

Groups of 15 to 50 function as neighborhoods within CBC and provide a warm and inviting environment as groups gather weekly for connection and spiritual growth. Typical group meetings involve coffee and treats as group members share, laugh and pray together along with interacting with the teaching of God’s word. Groups are made up of people often with similar ages, family structures or a common ethnic heart-language. These groups conveniently meet on Sundays alongside our worship services so families don’t have to fight traffic to a part of a life-giving community of Christ-followers who love and care for one another.

Small groups of 5 to 12 people meet ideally weekly or twice a month in homes all over the Northern Virginia area. The smaller group size along with meeting in a home creates a more intimate and casual environment for Bible study, sharing, caring and praying together along with good food of course! Groups are made up of people often with similar ages, family structures, a common ethnic heart-language or from the same geographical area. Several of our groups are “open” groups accepting new members while others are “full” due to space issues, etc.

CBC Men

CBC Women

CBC Men is all about men. CBC Men is all about helping men understand and attain their esteemed, biblical calling God outlined in His Word. CBC Men connect, grow and serve together. We stand together through the battles of life to lead our lives, marriages, families, church, workplace and community for the glory of God.

CBC Women exists to equip and encourage women to experience a vital and personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, and to be effective witnesses in all their relationships. There are opportunities for study of scripture, fellowship, service, training, and relationship building offered in a variety of settings such as campus and home groups, long term and short term groups, one-on-one relationships, events, and off-site trips. Our desire is for each woman to be challenged and engaged in taking the next step in her personal relationship with Jesus. We seek to encourage her as she discovers where He has called her to serve and to grow in her faith and personal life as she lives in service to others within our church body, our community, and beyond.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:34-35

WHY groups? In larger churches like ours, community groups are crucial to ministry that touches every person. We can never have enough Staff and Elders to meet all the individual needs in the church family. God never intended for it to be that way! So a key goal at CBC is to grow smaller through a growing network of campus and home community groups that connect people in caring Christ-centered relationships. Groups are committed to a three-fold focus of shepherding group members toward Connecting with God (personal transformation/Christ-likeness), Connecting with Others (caring, meaningful relationships), and as a result, Connecting with the World (individually & as a group, embracing outreach causes, projects and/or partnerships)... all to fulfill our purpose to glorify God by making fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ.

HOW are these campus groups organized? Each group has a name (i.e. Relevance, Be One) and takes on its own unique identity. Groups are led by a team that includes a Community Leader who oversees a leadership team of 4-6 people that organizes the group ministry. The Teaching Coordinator oversees the teaching ministry, and there are other team positions for care needs, socials, admin tasks, outreach/serving projects, etc.

WHAT are group meetings like? Groups are unique, but common elements of group meetings include a fellowship time with coffee and treats, testimonies, sharing/prayer, and then a Bible study, all in an informal and relational setting that often involves lots of laughter! Several groups incorporate regular small group breakouts to build deeper relationships.

HOW can I get connected with a campus group? Pick a group with personal interest to you and give it a try! If you need coaching for ideas on what group(s) to try, contact our Pastor of Community Life, Steve Lizzio at [email protected] or 703-830-333 x139.
