Small Groups
We believe life change happens best in the context of relationships, and Valpo FUMC Small Groups play a vital role in helping these relationships flourish in the life of the church.
Small Groups
Small groups meet throughout the week in a variety of homes & locations throughout the area. Small groups are an excellent opportunity to connect in community with others, and grow into a well-rounded faith. The groups cover a variety of topics including leadership, doctrine, growing in your faith, marriage, parenting, & more.
Sunday Groups
Sunday Groups meet on Sunday mornings, at our downtown Valparaiso campus, for about one hour. A typical group will include a lesson taught by one of the leaders and a time of discussion and prayer. Lessons can cover a variety of topics, but focus on a deeper study of the Bible.
Common Cause Groups
Common Cause Groups meet throughout the week and are centered on a shared passion or cause that the group can serve.
- Inward-focused groups (service to the church)
- Outward-focused groups (service to the community)
