The Purpose of Small Groups:

Relational communities to foster discipleship in Christ

What are Small Groups?

At Hillside Church, small groups gather in each other’s homes with the goal of growing in Christ together. The bonds formed in small group relationships strengthen the church as a whole as discipling thrives in the context of shared lives and hospitality. We desire God’s Word to saturate our lives as we live with one another in Christian fellowship.

 

How Do I Join A Small Group?

It’s super easy to get connected to a small group at Hillside - we have groups meeting at various times of the week all around the San Jose area. Small Groups meet from August - November, and January - May. Groups take a short break for June and July. Send a request to join a group below, and we look forward to growing in community with you.
