What Is A Home Group?

A Home Group is a safe environment where people experience authentic community and spiritual growth.  Each adult group has about 15 or so people, who meet on the 2^nd and 4^th Sunday night of each month at 6:00PM in various locations throughout the Joplin area. 

Why Do We Have Home Groups?

Home Groups are an important part of Faith Assembly. Groups allow you to make new friends and develop relationships that will encourage you on your spiritual journey. As Faith Assembly grows, Home Groups allow us to stay connected.

How Can I Get Involved In A Home Group?

Home groups meet throughout the Joplin area and provide a place for discussion, fellowship, and support. Wherever you live, there’s probably a group near you.  If you're interested, simply call our office (417-623-0583).
