Journey Groups

Journey Groups are small groups where the connections are made! These groups exist to promote authentic Christian friendships in an atmosphere of Biblical life application.

Groups include 8-12 people who meet weekly to study, share, and support each others’ Christian lives. Studies are based on the previous weekend’s sermon and each session lasts 10 weeks. The year is broken into 3 sessions: September-December; January-March; and March-May.

Journey Groups include adult members and regular attendees: all ages, married or single. We need Journey Group childcare helpers to support some groups during meeting times (approximately 1½ hours each week). Some groups meet at leaders’ homes, in various Quad City locations. When groups meet at the church building, helpers must meet Shepherd’s Watch requirements.
