We heard you! Many people have expressed their desire for more community, more challenge, and more accountability. We believe this is best achieved through connections with others in small groups and because of this, we are focused on creating additional small group opportunities for you to be a part of at JRCC.
It is our goal to have everyone at JRCC participate in at least one type of small group at some point in the year. With this in mind, the purposes of this survey are to do the following:
1. Find out if you are already in a small group and the type of group it is
2. Help us develop new group offerings, based on the types of groups you tell us you're interested in
3. Find out what days and times are best to initiate new group offerings and your preference in terms of how long a group continues (shorter, 5-6 week focused groups or longer, ongoing groups).
You might be in a small group already (connected to JRCC or not), you might be looking for something new, additional, or different, or you might not be interested at all, for one reason or another. No matter the case, this survey is your chance to tell us where you are at, so that we can most effectively develop small groups that will provide you with the community, accountability, and spiritual growth that is most effective for you.
Please note that in the past, we used the term “LIFE Group” to describe all of our small groups. Since we now have a diversity of small group options (ranging from Life Journaling to book clubs), you will see a variety of group titles and descriptions. Please read these descriptions carefully so that you fully understand the nature and purpose of each group. For the purposes of this survey, a “LIFE Group” will mean a group of people who meet regularly for the purposes of worship, corporate study, and prayer.
We value any and all comments and feedback about your small group experiences that you can give on this topic. We want to be able to contact you to help get you connected or to receive further clarity, so that's why we ask that you provide us with your name and contact information (but don't let this keep you from being candid).
This survey has been sent to everyone in our church who has provided us with express consent and we hope to hear back from everyone. The deadline to complete this survey is Sunday, February 1.
