At Park we encourage everyone to participate in a small group, as this is our central strategy for spiritual growth and developing the rich community life that God intends for His church. Small groups are communities of six to twelve people that meet in homes, condos, and apartments throughout Chicago, and our network of more than 150 small groups serves as the primary way to connect with others in community.

Although small groups study the Bible, they aren't just Bible studies - they are places for worship, service, prayer, and reaching out to our friends. Through studying the Bible, serving, and praying together, small group members find the mutual support, practical love, and encouragement to grow.

We have groups for men, women, married couples, moms, dads, and more. Groups meet in various neighborhoods on various days and times.

**Starting Point Groups begin the week of May 6th! Join us!

Interested in joining a small group? Starting Point Group is your first step! It's a 6-week group that allows you to connect with others who are looking to build authentic community, study the Bible, apply God's Word to their lives, and pray together. This group will give you a taste for what our small groups are about here at Park. At the end of the 6-weeks, it’s our desire to get you placed in a more permanent small group home. Join us for pizza on the first night to find out more!  We would love for you to join us at any point in this 6-week journey! Please keep checking back for possible additional days offered.
