Small Groups
Fairfax Circle isn’t about buildings or sermons or songs. It’s about people.
Our small groups are where people become each other’s community and family. They're there to help pick you up when you’re down and inspire you to grow as a person and grow closer to God. A small group is a weekly gathering of people who meet in a home to study the Bible, pray and share one another’s experiences.
All of our small groups will meet either in-person or online this semester using the Zoom platform.
Winter Small Groups begin the week of February 8th!
If you have any questions about any of our small group options please email us!
