Are you looking for a place to connect at FBC Aurora?
Small groups can build a sense of community within the church. They bring together people who have the same interests, challenges, or life stages. This creates a shared bond that can strengthen the church. Members of a small group can develop close relationships with each other and provide emotional support and accountability.
Are you looking for a place to connect at FBC Aurora?
We have just the place for you.
Small group sign up is going on now through September 7. Even if you don’t get a chance to sign up, feel free to attend any of our groups. Start a conversation, help create community and grow deeper in your faith as we gather in small groups and learn from Scripture and each other.
The fall semester begins the week of September 7 and ends November 7. You do not need to be a member of our church to join a small group. If you didn’t get to sign up in the beginning, no worries. You can still join a group.
This semester we are “Shining into the Broken Places of Life”. We hope you will join us and bring a friend.
