Growth Groups

Growth Groups are a high priority at Highpoint. In fact, Growth Groups are our primary place for discipleship and care at Highpoint.

Our Growth Groups meet mornings and evenings, weekdays and weekends, at the Highpoint campus and in homes and other places in the community.

We have lots of groups to meet the needs of all people, including those with a busy schedule.

Some Growth Groups meeting onsite at a Highpoint campus offer childcare – including some women’s groups, young family groups, and the parenting teens group (for younger siblings).

Most Growth Groups meet weekly for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Some groups meet year-round. Other groups follow the semester calendar – September-November and January-May.

We study the Bible, but we are more than a Bible study. We desire to share life with each other – our joys and our challenges. We read and discuss the Word to apply it to our lives. We care for each other and pray for one another in the group time and throughout the week.

Some groups follow the weekly Growth Guide connected to the weekend message. Other groups read a book or a book of the Bible. Some groups watch a video and discuss the lesson.

We encourage Growth Groups to have a healthy balance of a Bible study and a topical study, a video series and non-video series.

Each Growth Group has a designated leader. Each leader is approved and trained by Highpoint. In addition to ongoing training, we offer leadership courses including Lead Others and Care + Counsel. If you are interested in becoming a Growth Group leader, get involved in a Growth Group first. Then, talk with your group leader and Campus Pastor.

We ask for people to commit to a Growth Group for at least a semester. Because groups are built on relationships, we ask people to be consistent to best benefit from all the group has to offer. Inconsistent engagement is not helpful for the person nor the group.

After a semester, most people continue with the same group. Once a group grows, it multiplies into multiple groups.

If after a semester you want to try another group, you are welcome to do so.

Yes. All our groups have an “empty chair” mentality. All groups are open to new people and are welcoming and friendly.

Although people can join a group at any time, people are encouraged to join a group in September and January.

Make Discover Highpoint your first group. Discover Highpoint is a great place to start at Highpoint – it’s a short-term commitment, you’ll meet others, and you can learn more about all the Growth Groups that Highpoint has to offer.
