Growth Groups FAQ
What kind of Growth Groups does Saint Mark have?
We offer Bible-Based/Sermon-Based groups and Hobby-Based Groups. Bible-based/sermon-based groups commit to studying Scripture, a topic, or using our sermon discussion guide to have spiritual conversations. Hobby-based groups commit to gathering together around a shared hobby, while also sharing some spiritual practices (prayer and discussion). Our group categories are as follows: Men, Women, Marriage, Emerging Generation, Golden Saints, Hobby-Based.
What is the role of a Growth Group Host?
As a Growth Group Host, your primary role is to facilitate conversations and create a supportive environment for group members. Hosting is about guiding discussions, encouraging participation, and helping members connect with each other and with the material, rather than leading or directing the group.
