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.(opens in new tab)
Fall Small Groups will launch the first week of October!
If you have any questions about any of our small group options please email us!Â

Online
Sundays at 7:00pm via Zoom
Facilitator: Elise Bell
Group Makeup: Adults, all ages
The news is heavy as we hear about natural disasters and issues of violence and hardship through our country and the world. This group will take a minute to meditate on what God’s word says about the power of prayer, before we bring the needs we have found in the news to God.
We will be praying for people and areas we might never have personal contact with, without worrying about political differences, and just trusting that we can make a difference. Â Small group members will be encouraged to bring news stories they feel burdened for, as we join together in prayer. We will also find items to praise God for and rejoice together, for all the amazing ways He loves us!
