HomeSmall Group Ministry

There is a place for you at Sardis! Our small group ministry offers different ways to connect in fellowship, study, and serving.

Mustard Seed Groups

Mustard Seed Groups are part of Sardis’ small group ministry. People meet for fellowship, Bible study, service projects, and prayer. The groups are led by a trained leader. Each group chooses the topic of its study and the nature of its service or outreach projects. If you’d like more information on joining a Mustard Seed Group, contact Rev. Dr. Allysen Schaaf.

Dinner Groups

Dinner groups are small groups of 6-8 who gather together for dinner once a month from October-May. Some groups meet in homes, others meet in restaurants and some do a combo based on their preferences. It is a great way to get to know others and build community with others. Please sign up by September 22, 2024 and we will notify you of your group and group leader by the beginning of October. All are welcome to join a dinner group. See church emails to sign up for one this Fall. For more information contact Allysen Schaaf.
