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.

 

Fall Small Groups began September 14th!

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

Group Makeup: Adults 50 and up.

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.)



Anxious for Nothing by Max Lucado

On campus

Wednesdays at 12:15 – 2:00pm (Bring your own lunch)

Begins meeting on September 3

Facilitator: Jaimie Lindley

Group Makeup:  Women

Does the uncertainty and chaos of life keep you up at night? Let God help you win the war on worry and receive the lasting peace of Christ. We all experience anxiety, but we don't have to let worry and fear control our lives.  Anxiety is at an all-time high, but there’s a prescription for dealing with it. Max Lucado invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7 where the Apostle Paul admonishes the followers of Christ, “Do not be anxious about anything…” Lucado tells us, the apostle Paul seems to leave little leeway here. “Be anxious for nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero.” What is he suggesting? That we should literally be anxious for absolutely nothing. The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. Join us for lunch on Wednesdays and break free from the prison of anxiety.
