We live our Christian life alongside each other, not in isolation. Small groups provide a setting to develop deeper relationships with each other that normally wouldn't form by solely attending Sunday services. Usually a small group will consist of 6-12 members and may include children. Once the groups get larger than this number, members are encouraged to divide and form new groups. Each group is uniquely different - participating in an array of activities and meeting throughout the Richmond area! Many small groups also plan and participate in church or independently planned community service projects.
Think you might be interested in a small group? Check out the options we have to offer! Contact Pastor Ryan for further information on joining.
Women's Saturday Breakfast Group
The Women's Saturday Breakfast Small Group meets monthly over breakfast either hosted in a home or in a local restaurant.

Date and location will be posted in Sunday bulletins as well as the "announcements" section for members.
Senior Men's Breakfast Group
This group is made up of the retired men in the congregation. They meet for fellowship every second Wednesday at an area restaurant for breakfast.
Central Richmond Small Group
This is FMC's newest group! The Central Richmond Small Group meets every 3 weeks, usually on Thursdays, either hosted at it's members homes or occasionally at other locations. The theme of each meeting changes as each host picks a new topic and activity. The CRSG is made up of members from various age ranges and religious beliefs. This group is open to anyone who loves discussion, food, wishes to have fun, and wants to get to know their fellow church members!
James River Small Group
We meet every 2-3 weeks on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. rotating among our members homes. We start with a dinner or have a snack after our discussion. We study a book or do a bible study. We rotate leadership for discussion. Our group is geographically close together near the James River.
