Community Groups

Live Connected

Our Community Groups exist to grow a community of disciples that live out biblical practices for the good of each other and the good of the city.

What separates a community group environment from other discipleship environments? 

A community group fosters Biblical practices of fellowship, prayer, outreach, & missions.

How to find your Community Group:

Community Groups at FBCVA are designed to pattern after the lives of its participants. The group dynamics below are to help you understand what to expect. All of our community groups are open ended, so feel free to join any group you feel would help you grow in your love for God and Neighbor!

We would love to help you find your group! Use the button below to contact Jace, our Discipleship Pastor.
