Small groups are an extension of Table fellowship at Village Church.
As we welcome more and more people to the Table on Sunday mornings, we are setting smaller tables where relationships and connection can happen throughout the week and in greater depth. Our small groups use a trimester system, meeting for 8-10 week periods three times per year.
Fall 2025 Small Groups
Fall groups will begin the week of September 28th and end by the week of November 16th. More groups may be added before 9/28, so check back!
Exact group locations are available once you sign up for a specific group through Church Center.

Other Small Groups
Walking with the Good Shepherd
Leader: Mimi Stevens
What: What does it look like to rest in and enjoy the love of God? We often have the head knowledge of this love but have had few experiences of receiving ‘as little children’ the enjoyment of this deeply personal and immensely rich love. Join this small group as we explore contemplative practices, as well as works from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Village's children's spiritual formation curriculum), and seek sacred space to meet with God and his love. Each week will include time together, as well as time alone.
When: Mondays from 6:30-8:00pm
Where: Village Fellowship Hall
The Life of the World to Come (And How to Live in the Meantime)
Leader: Jan Finnamore
What: The promise of eternal life is one of the most stunning truths in Scripture. Each week in the Nicene Creed we proclaim: “We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.” That single sentence holds a cosmos of hope, inviting us to pause and consider the restoration God has promised. This group, inspired by the book The Architects by JR Finnamore, will help us imagine what life will be like in God’s renewed world—and how that hope reshapes the way we live today. Around the table we’ll share a meal, open Scripture, and talk together about what it means to live in God’s already/not yet Kingdom—learning to walk as His image-bearers, anchoring our lives in the hope to come, and discovering how the legacy we build now can echo into eternity. Participants will be reading The Architects and using the companion study guide. Each week we’ll come ready to share a meal and meaningful conversation about life in the Kingdom of God.
When: Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00pm
Where: The Finnamore home
Practicing the Way
Leader: Emma and Hardik Patel
What: We will meet weekly to grow together in the way of Jesus through intentional rhythms of discipleship, prayer and life in community. Open to all ages, this group is for anyone seeking deeper spiritual formation in a committed, Christ-centered community. This is an ongoing group that will meet beyond the 8 week Fall trimester. Childcare available depending on need. Contact Emma Patel at emzpatel@gmail.com for more information.
When: Wednesday Evenings at 6pm, beginning October 1st
Where: The Patel home
