Small Groups

Fairfax Circle isn’t about buildings or sermons or songs. It’s about people.

Our small groups are where people become each other’s community and family. They're there to help pick you up when you’re down and inspire you to grow as a person and grow closer to God. A small group is a weekly gathering of people who meet in a home to study the Bible, pray and share one another’s experiences.

All of our small groups will meet either in-person or online this semester using the Zoom platform.

 

Spring Small Groups begin April 26!

If you have any questions about any of our small group options please email us!

The Gospel of John

On campus

Wednesdays 12:15 - 2:00pm (Bring your own lunch)

This study of the Gospel of John invites participants to slow down and encounter Jesus in a deeper way. Through videos and discussion, the group will explore the unhurried life of Jesus—who fulfilled God’s will without rushing or striving. As you study John’s Gospel, you’ll learn to embrace the posture of a learner and discover that the peace Jesus offers goes beyond circumstances to bring true rest to the soul.

A Study of The Book of Philippians

Online

Sundays at 7:00pm via Zoom

Facilitator: Elise Bell

The book of Philippians is a brief, encouraging letter written by the Apostle Paul while he was imprisoned in Rome. It’s sometimes referred to as the "joyous epistle," because Paul’s primarily message in it is gratitude and a call to find lasting joy in Jesus Christ, regardless of difficult circumstances.
