When is it? Where is it?
Between September and the end of April, for two years, we meet each week (except for a few holiday breaks). Meetings rotate on alternating formats as follows:
Large Group Nights
We will all meet together every other Wednesday, at Community Covenant Church, from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. This will be in sync with one of the children's programs which may or may not impact you.
Small Group Nights
On the alternating weeks, we will meet in groups of about eight. Most of the groups will meet on Wednesdays from 6:30pm - 8:00pm offsite at someone's home, but each group can decide this together. Some of the groups will meet at the church for their small group time.
What kind of commitment am I asked to make?
There are two levels of commitment depending on your life situation:
- Plan A ~ This is for those who can make a commitment to participate each week (or at least 80% or more of the time) and commit to notifying their group leader when they cannot be there. This level implies a high degree of commitment.
- Plan B ~ This is for men whose hearts are committed but whose schedules make it impossible to participate 80% or more of the time. The commitment is to simply be here when you can. Your large group and small group that will always meet at the church on Wednesdays from 6:30pm - 8:00pm.
