Small Groups

Experience the warmth and connection of our home small groups. Meeting throughout the week in various homes, these gatherings provide a cozy and supportive setting for deepening your faith and building meaningful relationships. Join us for enriching discussions, shared experiences, and spiritual growth in a welcoming home environment.

We are an eclectic, intergenerational group with 25 members ranging in age from 36 to 86. Meeting weekly, we usually follow Pastor Thom's sermon series for our Bible studies. Our group is passionate about outreach and actively serves in many church ministries. Once a month, we serve EPIC dinner and organize activities with them.

Each week, we share a meal and prayer time, fostering deep connections and spiritual growth. During the summer, we enjoy social dinners together. Our group loves to have fun and welcomes anyone looking for a vibrant, supportive community.

Join our highly relational small group that meets at our home on Sunday evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Our gatherings are kid-friendly and feature a dessert (sometimes a pitch-in meal), time for building relationships, and engaging conversation related to the Sunday sermons at C3, as well as a time of prayer.

Our weekly small group meets every Sunday at 5:00 PM. We enjoy a meal together, followed by engaging study sessions on basic theology and meaningful conversations. Join us for a time of fellowship, learning, and community as we explore the foundational aspects of our faith.

Join us weekly at C3 in the EPIC Journey classroom from 5:30 to 7:30 PM on Sundays. Open to all adults, our group is currently studying the book of Job and special series from Pastor Thom. We enjoy snacks, fellowship, prayer, and friendly conversation about our lives. Unique to our group, we offer a hybrid format with the option to join in person or via Microsoft Teams. Come be a part of our community.

Join Jeff and Jennifer Pickering at our small group, where faith grows and friendships flourish! Since joining C3 in 2017, we've been dedicated to fostering community through meaningful connections and deepening our understanding of God's word. Inspired by our journey, we now host our own small group, where we gather to discuss Christ, reflect on sermons, and support one another through life's ups and downs.

Our small group meets every Sunday from 4:30 pm to 6 pm, rotating between three different homes near C3. We intentionally chose these hours to accommodate early bedtimes and families attending EPIC. Come be a part of our close-knit community as we journey together in faith and fellowship!

Our small group, tailored for West Side residents of C3, meets in Fall (September-November) and Winter/Spring (January-April). We gather for shared meals, prayer, and discussions inspired by Sunday messages and Right Now Media topics. While we don't provide childcare, we offer opportunities for fellowship and community service. Contact Thom at tredmond@C3Lafayette.org for more information.

 It is a time of fellowship, spiritual growth, and community.

Whether you’re new to the faith or looking to deepen your spiritual journey, this group will provide insightful guidance and genuine care to support you every step of the way.

We are a fun and faithful group enjoying the second half of life. We gather weekly on Sunday evenings at 6:30 PM in the home of a group member. Our time together includes food, fun, fellowship, and growing in our faith journey through Bible study and prayer. Our studies rotate based on the sermon series and the interests of our group members. Led by Bill Runkle, our group offers a welcoming and enriching environment for spiritual growth and camaraderie.

Join the Sowers' home group, meeting every Wednesday at 6:30 PM. Hosting rotates among attendees, with each gathering beginning with a shared meal provided by the host.

The Thayer home group will begin 9/16, meeting on Monday's at 7PM at their home on the south side of Lafayette.  The focus will be 'Not What I Signed Up For' on Right Now Media. This video series has a corresponding book which group members are encouraged to purchase to read along, but not required.  This series can help those who are in the midst of an unexpected season, or for those still reconciling a previous trial.  Come find stength, purpose and faith that will carry you through your next life valley. The group will start with dessert, followed by lesson discussion and prayer.

MEN.T.O.R.S.  was established in 2016 following a men’s one day retreat, entitled Next Steps. Several men came together, realizing there was a true need to bring men together on a weekly basis.

MEN.T.O.R.S. is a men’s ministry where men meet, study, and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. We are all mentoring or influencing someone every day. Someone is also mentoring us as well. Mentoring is a two-way street. We are a group of men who have set out to cross train, to study , and understand our purpose in life and ready to bear the cross. Jesus disciples probably didn’t know at the time, but they were chosen for cross training.

MEN.T.O.R.S. Meet every Saturday at C3 in Room 111 at 8 AM except on the first Saturday of each month.

*On the first Saturday we meet at the Southside diner for breakfast at 7:30 AM.

Interest-based small groups at a church provide a unique opportunity for individuals to connect with others who share similar hobbies, passions, or life experiences within the context of their faith community. These groups cater to diverse interests, ranging from book clubs, fitness groups, and cooking classes to prayer circles, parenting support, and community service initiatives. They offer a nurturing environment where members can deepen their relationships with each other while growing spiritually through shared activities and discussions centered around their interests. These groups foster a sense of belonging and provide avenues for personal growth, support, and accountability within the larger church family. Whether you're seeking companionship, spiritual enrichment, or simply a space to explore your interests alongside fellow believers, interest-based small groups offer a welcoming and inclusive space to thrive.

We are a group of faith-based motorcyclists with all of the same interests, God and motorcycles. Anyone who rides can be in the group regardless of make or motorcycle. It’s about the ride God has blessed us with. We hold a Blessing of the Bikes yearly.  We try to do a monthly dinner ride together and also like to participate in a local benefit ride. It’s great representation for the church and shows our service to the community. We currently have 48 members. We have some members from other churches that join us as well. Brandon Denison and Tony Paxton lead the group.

My name is Brandon Denison. I’ve been attending Crestview since November of 2022. I have been in the C3 Riders group since the first day. Tony Paxton and I were asked to lead the group in March of 2023. Not only have I been blessed with a great church family, but a motorcycle family as well. We all have the same common interests, God and motorcycles. Our group isn’t about what brand of bike you own, it’s about the ride God has blessed you with. I’ve met so many wonderful people through this group. A little about me, I’m single, no children and work at SIA. I ride a 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Glide. I enjoy being with my friends and family. I love going to Tampa and seeing my nephew when I can. I’m a fair weather rider. I’m not a big fan of the cold weather rides. I enjoy riding. I definitely have God as my co-pilot. I was baptized in March of 2023. It’s changed my life forever. My favorite Bible verse is Joshua 1:9. “This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Tony Paxton’s passion for God is the same for riding his motorcycle. He rode for over 20,000 miles in 2023. Tony has been coming to Crestview for over 10 years. He has been married to his wife, Andie, for 29 years. Together, they have 3 children. Tony works for Granite and rides a 2021 Tri-Glide. His favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6. “Trust in the lord with all of your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
