When will the Spring Semester of Belong Groups start?

B-groups will launch on January 22, 2023.

What types of Belong Group will be offered?

Belong Group categories include: Everyone Welcome, Women, Men, Marriage, and Youth. Within these groups, sermon-based Talk notes and Belong Group approved content are used as resources.

If you are interested in facilitating a Belong Group please complete the application or email the Bgroup department at belong@transformchurch.us.

How will I receive support as a Belong Group Facilitator?

Each Belong Group Facilitator will be assigned to a Captain (who is responsible for 5+ Facilitators). The Captain will be the one checking in with you: consistently praying for you, regularly communicating important information with you, and providing encouragement and support during the Belong Group Semester.

What are my options for the category of group I want to facilitate?

We are so grateful for your desire to bring transformation in Christ through Belong Groups! We will have high quality sermon-based TalkNotes that align with the Sunday sermon available each Sunday evening by 5 p.m. CST. Additional Belong Group approved content will be added each semester.

Are groups available online or in-person? What are my options?

We offer groups for all people. If you live in an area that allows you to participate in an in-person group and that is what you’d like to do, then our in-person groups are perfect for you! If you’re interested in meeting with people from all over the world, or you do not live in a region close enough to an in-person group, then our virtual online groups are the way to go. Both options are incredible ways to build relationships with other partners of Transformation Church.
