small groups
Sandals is a groups-based church. That is, we try to do every part of the Christian life in a smaller and more relational group setting. Sandals small groups provide these intentional relational experiences for approximately 3-15 people. They are places where we take our next steps in developing a more authentic relationship with ourselves, others, and God. Our primary focus is being real with each other and living out the teachings of Jesus. If you are tired of putting a fake face on about your spirituality and best friend relationships, and if you are ready to become a more authentic follower of Jesus Christ and intentionally engaging with others, then our Small Groups are for you.
Please go to www.sandalsgroups.com for a online community of the group types that Sandals offers.
The core of every Sandals Group is the same: being relational and being authentic. However, we have several different styles of small groups for different:
Relational Discussion
These groups discuss and apply the Sunday message. They occasionally use other materials in order to take their next steps.
Relational Development
These groups require a nine-month commitment to accountability and growth.
Relational Healing
These groups do serious work in the areas of drug or alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, or same-sex attraction.
Relational Marriage
These groups are for married couples have average marriages or on the brink of divorce, but want to take their marriages to an extraordinary level.
Relational Outreach
These groups minister to people's spiritual, emotional, and physical needs both locally and globally.
Relational Study
These groups go through the Bible or other approved materials as they relate to each other in real ways.
Relational Leadership
These are groups that don't just study leadership, but they actually lead sections of other groups for Sandals Church.
