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.
If that sounds good to you, we have just the place for you!
We're kicking off Small Groups in our church in 2024! Small group sign-up will be during August 2024 (at the Welcome Center) with a kickoff/tailgate party on August 25th. Start a conversation, help create community, and grow deeper in your faith as we gather in small groups and learn from each other.
The first semester begins the week of August 26 and ends the week of October 21. 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.

Thursday Evening Small Group: Whether you're a nearly life-long believer or still exploring what it means to live life as a Christ follower, we would love for you to join our small group. We will meet each Thursday evening this fall at 6:30pm at Ludlow Hill Park. Join us as we discuss the week's sermon topic and how we can apply it to each of our lives. Stick around after the discussion for a nice walk around the park or even a game of pickleball if you choose. Childcare is not provided so feel free to bring your kids along to hang out at the park with us if needed.
This group is led by Amber and Nathan Batchelor on Thursdays at 6:30 pm at Ludlow Hill Park in Lawrenceburg. Reach out to Amber at 812-290-6825 if you are interested in learning more.

Thursday Morning Small Group: This group is for anyone of any age - whether you are just trying to figure out who Jesus is, or you have been a long-time follower. Come sit with us as we discuss the Pastor’s sermon topic for the week, review the scriptures, and discover how it applies to our lives. This will be a very informal time where we can get to know each other better and connect with others. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
The group is led by Sandy McClanahan and Terry Doerr. We will meet on Thursday Mornings at 10:00 at the Church. Our group begins August 29, 2024, and ends October 24, 2024. Contact Sandy at 513-315-8434 or Terry Doerr at 812-584-4733 for more information.
