Welcome to Arena Church Small Groups

We’re so glad you’re here and exploring small groups!

At Arena, we believe that church is more than a Sunday – it’s about doing life together. That’s where small groups come in.

Our small groups exist for three key reasons:
To connect, to protect, and to grow.

Below, you’ll find a list of the groups currently available across our Arena Church locations. You can see who’s leading them, what they’re about, and when they meet. You may not find the ideal group today, but new groups are always being added as the ministry continues to grow.

Maybe you even feel a nudge to lead, co-lead or host a group. If so, we’d love to hear from you. This ministry grows when people like you create space for others to belong.

Ready to take the next step?
Scroll down to explore our current groups, and when you’re ready, simply fill in the online form to register your interest – whether that’s to join, host, lead or co-lead a group.

We can’t wait to see what God does through you and your group journey!

Our small groups exist primarily so that people would connect, protect and grow!
Across all campuses, there are groups running that are available for you to join.
If you are interested, we would love to hear from you. Please fill out the form below.
