Small Groups

Life change happens in relationships. Community is the heart of what we do at Four19.

Our groups are built so you can meet people you actually have something in common with. Leaders take the relationships, gifts, and hobbies they already have and turn them into groups, which keeps community relevant and within reach for everyone.

All Groups

Groups are not only about what you do, they are about the friendships you build along the way. See what is open and find your place.

Want to Lead a Group?

You do not need to have it all together to lead a group. You just have to be willing to let God use you. A group can be as simple as gathering people for coffee or as involved as leading a Bible study, and we will support you the whole way. Here are the three steps.

Step 01

Application

Apply any time and someone from our team will reach out to you.

Apply to Lead
Step 02

Conversation

Once we have looked over your application, our team will set up a conversation so we can get to know you.

Step 03

Orientation

Orientation is the last step before you lead. We will get you ready and hand you everything you need.

Groups FAQ

Questions people actually ask

When and where do groups meet?

Our groups meet all over Paducah and the surrounding area, on different days and at different times. Some meet in homes, some meet at the church, and some meet wherever is easiest for the people in them. Browse the open groups to see what fits your week.

How do I find a group that is the right fit for me?

Start with the list of open groups. You can see when each one meets, who it is for, and what it is built around, everything from Bible studies to groups that just share a meal. If you are still not sure, reach out and we will help you find one.

How long does a group last?

Groups come in different lengths and formats. Most curriculum groups meet for 9 to 12 weeks, while other groups determine their schedule based on what works best for the group.

Do I have to be a member to join a group?

No. You do not have to be a member, and you do not have to have your life figured out. Groups are one of the easiest ways to get to know people here, and plenty of people join a group before they would call Four19 home.

What if I join a group and it is not a fit?

Tell your leader and they will help you find a different one. We will not take it personally. We would rather you be in a group you actually look forward to than stay in one out of politeness.

What if I miss a week?

That happens, and it is fine. Just let your leader know so they are not wondering where you are. If life gets busy for a stretch, stay in touch with them rather than disappearing, and you will always be welcome back.

I can't find the kind of group I'm looking for.

Then you may be the person to start it. If you see something missing, apply to lead. A group can be a Bible study, or it can be a few people who run together on Saturday mornings. We will help you build it.

What curriculum do groups use?

Groups can use any of our Four19 Group Studies, which are free and written for our church, or a leader can bring something else. Everything in ROOTED, FORMED, EQUIPPED, and GATHER comes with a leader guide, so you do not have to be a teacher to lead one.

Still have a question?

Ask us. We would rather answer one question now than have you wonder about it for a month.
