Calvary Chapel of Seattle has a long history of stressing the importance of small groups in the development of the Christian life. Nearly 80 percent of our Sunday attenders are members of small groups of people who meet in homes through out the region to study the word of God, pray for each other and fellowship together.Small groups have between six and 18 members. Some groups are for men, others for women and some are mixed. Each year we sponsor about 15 small groups which we call Core Groups — because they are at the core of our ministry of building up the believers to follow the Lord not only with head knowledge, but with an active life style of discipleship.

By meeting together with others consistently each week, we have a trusted group of friends who can hold us accountable to working towards our goals. It is a place for confession of sins and for the support that we need to change our behavior and mind to become the people that God intends. Cores are also a place for celebration as we share the good things that are experiencing in our lives.

Core group fellowship is like family. Here we rejoice in our relationships are believers committed to a life of purity and faithfulness to God.

If you are new to the church, you are welcome to attend one of our groups for a few meetings to see if you would like to be committed. If you are a member, we ask that you make a commitment to attend weekly so that the relationships will be strong and life affirming.

Don’t miss out. Core groups are wonderful places to experience the richness of what Christ brings to our lives when we are serious about following him with our whole hearts. Join a core and you will have a group of friends who will pray for you and know you well enough to trust with what is most important. You will experience love, acceptance and forgiveness.
