Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Small Group?

Small Group consists of 3 - 12 individuals who meet to study the Bible, share life with others and serve God and others.

Small Groups are the primary place where believers build the "life together" God created them for and the friendships they desire. The best relationships challenge us to think deeply about our lives and our relationships with God, our family, and others. At Concord, we believe these relationships happens best within a small group.

What is the difference between Community Groups and “The Bridge” - Wednesday Night Experience?

The Community Groups are our small groups where members meet in the homes, restaurants and even Concord campus. 

“The Bridge” is our Wednesday Night Experience for members to enjoy corporate prayer, praise and teaching on the Concord campus on a Wednesday night.  Then, the members break into small groups to discuss the prepared lesson from the teaching moment.
