Simple Groups

AT COTTONWOOD CREEK CHURCH

What if growing your faith didn’t require another night out?

You are already at the pickleball court. You are already waiting in the school pickup line. You are already grabbing lunch with coworkers or sitting on the floor playing board games. Your calendar is full, but your life is already filled with people.

A Simple Group isn’t a replacement for the local church or your Sunday Life Group. It’s a faith conversation woven directly into the friendships you already have.

Instead of adding to a busy schedule, you simply introduce a three-step rhythm to your regular hangouts:

Look Back: Check in on life.
Look Up: What does God’s Word Say?
Look Forward: Take a small step of faith together.

There is no expensive curriculum to buy and no prep work to complete. Simple Groups don’t replace your Sunday gatherings; they just take faith outside the church walls. Turn the spaces you already inhabit into places where faith naturally comes alive.
