ENJOY is the primary way we connect you to a community group. When we create groups for ENJOY, we always intend for that group to become an ongoing community group as you collectively build a solid foundation of community and connection. However, if someone invites you into an existing group or you find a group you like, we encourage you to jump in with them.
If you have been a member of a Stonegate Community Group before and would like to search our open groups, you can click below.
You don’t need to have it all together to lead a Stonegate Group—you just have to be willing to let God use you. We want all of our group leaders to be covenant members. If you want to lead a group, membership at Stonegate may be your next step.
Common Interest Groups include Bible Studies, Missional Groups, Topical Groups, and Activity Groups. These groups are a great way to learn and meet new people, but are not meant to take the place of community that is found in a Community Group.
Everyone has been formed by God for a purpose: equipped with skills, gifts and passions. Everyone has also been formed by their experiences. Common Interest Groups are the place for you to take all of the ways God has formed you, to help form others.
In these groups, you can gather people together to build relationships, be known, and grow in your relationship with Jesus. Whether it is leading men, women, married couples, or singles, you can take your passion and form a Common Interest Group at Stonegate.
Support Groups are specialized short-term groups designed to encourage you, provide support, and care for you.

Community Groups meet regularly, in homes, coffee shops, parks and anywhere in-between to open God's Word, primarily through our weekly sermon application questions, sharing with one another, and praying for each other.
Community Groups tend to meet weekly on different days and times. Most groups follow a trimester schedule meeting every week during the Fall semester and Spring semester, with a break during the Christmas Holidays. Some groups continue to meet regularly throughout the summer, while others meet just a few times during the summer for fellowship and encouragment.

Communtiy Groups are the main pathway for discipleship at Stonegate. A community group is a small group of people that meets each week to fellowship, pray, discuss and apply the word of God and care for one another. As we live out Hebrews 10 week after week, we become more like Jesus and we build great gospel friendships to help us follow Jesus well.
A disciple lives in community. We all need one another. Jesus saved us into his family and has designed us to follow him with one another. As we live in God's family, we are commended to love, encourage, serve, care for, admonish, teach, and pray for one another. To live in community at Stonegate is to commit to participation in a group.

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
