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 are in session!
If you have any questions about any of our small group options please email us!
Catching Whimsy
Fairfax City Area
In-person and virtual
Fridays - in-person 6:30pm; online 7:15 pm
Facilitator/Hosts: Max and Carolyn Inman
Each week we’ll discuss one of the topics in Bob Goff’s devotional book, “Catching Whimsy, 365 Days of Possibility.” In his introduction Bob says, “In the past few years, the idea of catching something has gotten a well-deserved bad rap. I want to reclaim the phrase and suggest that some things, like whimsy and wonder and passion and the ability to give and receive extravagant love, are worth catching.” Join us as we try to catch something. (It’s not necessary to have the book.)
Loving People Who Are Hard To Love
On campus
Wednesdays at 12:15 – 2:00pm (Bring your own lunch)
Facilitator: Jaimie Lindley
“Transforming your world by learning to love unconditionally. With God's help, you can turn prickly interactions into pleasant ones and bring peace that puts out the fires of strife when arguments flare. You don't have to live under a cloud of intimidation or dread dealing with people, whether they are acquaintances or those closest to you.”
This is a women’s group of varying ages.
Spiritual Topics
Western Fairfax/Fair Oaks/Herndon Area
Fridays at 7:00pm
Hosts/Facilitators: Marsha and David Magnet
Pulling from weekly sermons and other resources our group will be discussing a different spiritual topic each week. The goal of our group is to have some lite conversation around spiritual matters along with connecting with one another at the end of a long week.
Podcast Recap
Fairfax City
Fridays at 7:00pm
Hosts: Anna and Boddy Ritter

Help Is Here
Online
Sundays at 7:00pm via Zoom
Facilitator: Elise Bell
In Help is Here you will receive the tools and encouragement you need to become joyful, enthusiastic, and empowered as you draw closer to God; learn who the Spirit is and how he can help you; find true rest and peace as you let him carry your burdens; and discover your unique gifts to further God’s kingdom.
Help Is Here reminds us that our Good Shepherd doesn’t just feed us; he leads us. He does more than correct us; he directs us. God keeps us on track—and best of all, he’s commissioned the Holy Spirit to guide us down the winding roads of life, wherever they may lead us.
Circle Fridays
The Circle Fridays connection group is a new FCC group focused on getting to know each other. The group will meet once a month beginning in May and ending in September. And while participants are encouraged to attend all five sessions, attending only occasionally is also fine.
Discussion topics for each meeting will be low-key, meaningful questions that will facilitate our growing understanding of each unique person. While the discussion atmosphere will be fun and flexible, each meeting will be mildly structured to allow the maximum sharing of ideas.
Those who are new to the church should find this group particularly helpful for making connections here at FCC. However, ALL church attenders are encouraged to attend. Each meeting will also include brief answers to frequently asked questions about our church.
