We believe that life change happens in the context of a small group. A small group is a group of 5-15 students that gathers every Sunday during Ripple Effect to build relationships, discuss the message they heard, and encourage each other to better follow Jesus.

Every small group is led by one to two trusted volunteers. Groups are organized by grade and sex, and students are placed into specific groups upon signing up. They can request a certain leader or even specific friends, and can stay with the same group throughout their time at Ripple Effect.

We believe that joining a small group is a decision that should be made by the student when they are ready to take a next step in their faith. For this reason, we ask that the student fills out the form and not a parent or guardian. Once you have signed up a staff member will bring you to your new group. Joining a small group is an important step in a relationship with Jesus and we can’t wait to see what He does through this community!
