Frequently Asked Questions

What happens at a small group?

In short, connections happen at small group meetings. There are many types of small groups at Poplar Creek Church. Some groups look like friends going out to  lunch, doing a Bible or book study, playing sports, or gathering together at someone’s house. The groups may look different, but the goal of the groups is the same: doing life together. By participating in small groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common activity, engage in life giving conversation, and request prayer.

How often do groups meet?

Our Small Groups vary not only in type, but also in schedule. Some groups meet  once per week, some meet twice per month, and others meet once per month. We know that everyone has different availability, and we try to have groups that meet that need for flexibility.  Small groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life, so even if you can’t attend every meeting, there is still great value in joining a group.

How long does a typical small group stay together?

This varies depending on the group. We have short term groups that come together for a six – eight session study. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for longer periods, but new members are always welcome.

Where do small groups meet?

Most Small Groups meet at a host or group leader’s home. We have groups that meet in New Berlin and in the surrounding area. There is a map available on Planning Center that shows you where groups meet.

Is there childcare available?

Childcare varies from group to group. When you search our directory for a group, the group profile will indicate if childcare is available.

What if I feel like a group isn’t a good fit for me?

Not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders, and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in small groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!
