We Grow Better Together
Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. We all need people who encourage us, challenge us, pray with us, and remind us that we’re not walking alone. That’s why we’re launching Growth Groups this fall—small groups where authentic relationships are built, faith grows deeper, and every story matters.
Whether you’re looking for community or wondering if God is calling you to lead one, Growth Groups are a place to take your next step. The best groups don’t begin with someone who has all the answers. They begin with someone willing to create space for others. Throughout Scripture, God uses ordinary people with willing hearts to accomplish extraordinary things—and we believe He’s still doing that today.
If you feel God inviting you to lead, you won’t do it alone. We’ll equip you, encourage you, and walk alongside you every step of the way. And if you’re simply looking for a place to belong, we’d love to help you find a group where you can build meaningful relationships and grow in your faith.
Wherever you’re starting, there’s a place for you. And your next step could begin with a Growth Group.

frequently asked questions
How do I join a small group?
Click here and fill out the interest form. A member of the Discipleship Team will contact you to help you find a group and connect you with the leader of that group.
What will my group do?
At Kensington, groups form around common interests, life stages or passions. Leading is about finding what you want to study or like to do, and inviting people to do it with you. We have groups that run together, eat together, read books together, study the Bible together, and play ball together. It is all about creating a community that is experiencing transformation through Jesus.
Is childcare provided?
Some groups offer childcare while other groups make arrangements like sharing the cost of babysitters. Check out group descriptions to find something that fits or contact our Kensington Kids team at your campus for recommendations of trusted babysitters.
How often do groups meet?
Groups meet on different days and times throughout the week. Some meet every week, some meet every other week, and some meet once a month. Use the Group Finder (link) to see when and how often each group meets.
What do groups study?
Some groups discuss the weekend series while others study a book or scripture. We want our groups to have the flexibility to discuss the topics most important to them at this season or stage of life.
What does it mean to be the group leader?
Group leader set the schedule, culture and tone for the group. Group leaders connect with Kensington staff and volunteer teams to stay connected and informed. Group leaders help their people take a next step in their faith.
Am I qualified to be a group leader?
Leading a group is not about knowing all the answers. Once you commit to lead, our team will train you, encourage you and answer any questions you have as you get started. Kensington will help you lead well as a group leader. We offer resources, training, encouragement and coaching.
