In Pre-COVID Times:
What is a small group?
- A small group is an intentional, interactive, Christ-centered gathering where people share life together.
- The essential elements of a small group are a Christ-centered discussion with prayer, interaction, accountability, and confidentiality. Sharing a meal (“breaking of bread”), Bible study, mission work, and social gatherings are important additional ways for a group to interact and grow in relationship with one another.
We offer groups that meet at Trinity as well as groups that meet off-site. Some groups get together to study, others get together to eat, pray, and care for one another. Let us know what kind of small group you are looking for via our Small Group Interest Form.

Men’s Groups
New Men's Group
Meets: Wednesdays at 6:00 to 6:30 AM
Contact: Paul Brooks
On Wednesday, March 25th, we will start a new men’s group at the Brooks household. The group will meet weekly on Wednesdays at 6:00 to 6:30 AM. It will be preceded by an optional workout at the southwest corner of Ridge and River 5:00 to 5:45 AM (wear clothes that can get dirty and gloves).
The purpose of this small group is to invite men along their spiritual journeys in developing their faith. Participants are encouraged to share. It is not required to share (wise men learn by listening), but there is a requirement to allow others to share. What is shared in this group stays with the group; it is a circle of trust.
This event:
Is free of charge,
Is based on the Christian faith, but is open to all men,
Is a discussion based on materials provided by Trinity UMC,
Is accompanied by coffee,
Includes communion that is optional and yet open.”
