Our Small Groups are where we make a big church feel small. It is where the meaning of "church family" comes into focus. We believe that a healthy church is made up of dynamic Bible-centered large group worship, as well as small groups where transformational living is taught and modeled. That happens when we combine application of Scripture through living life together in community.
Weekend Groups
Each Sunday on our campus, we have over 30 Adult Groups that meet for biblical community at 8:30, 10:00, and 11:00am. We have groups for every age and stage! It is our conviction that to fully engage in the family of First Naples, Small Groups are a must. You can find more details on the groups that meet by searching below.
