The church is not a place, name, building, or program; it is
a gathering of people who love God. God has created every human being to desire
deep relationships and we understand God more fully when we are in community.
High Desert Church is a big church, but you don't need to be
just another face in the crowd. If you want to meet people and grow in your
relationship with God, we believe being a part of a Small Group is the best
place for you.
What is a Small Group?
A Small Group is a group of people (4-20) who gather on a
regular basis in homes, work, Starbucks, etc., for the purpose of preparing you
to change your world for Christ. A Small Group is HDC’s way of making a large
church personal. We have a Small Group for every stage of life.
Why should I belong to a Small Group?
God doesn’t want us to “do life” alone. In a Small Group, we go through the ups and downs of life with one another, we learn how to live the Christian life, and we grow in our knowledge of God’s truth. It is HDC’s desire that everyone participates in a Small Group.
What if I want my entire family involved in a Small Group?
You would want to be a part of one of our Family Groups. Family Groups combine like-minded, like-aged, and like-located families throughout the Victor Valley into family groups who meet consistently to develop Christ-centered homes. These groups are unique in that they are multi-generational and are made up of families with children that range from toddlers all the way through high school. Parents and children are studying God's Word together as a Small Group unit.
How do I get into a Small Group?
We have a couple of ways that you can join a Small Group. The first and primary way
to join a Small Group is through the Gathering. The Gathering is the most effective way for you to meet
other people, understand group life, and begin your journey. A secondary way to join a Small Group
is to ask one of your friends who already belongs to a group and see if you can
join theirs.
