Group Life
Experience life together.
Groups are the primary place where you are known at St. Mark’s. Within these groups, men and women of all generations build personal relationships and practice applying the gospel to their lives.
We offer groups for a variety of ages and stages of life. Check out the groups below to learn about the ways you can get involved in community!

There are over 50 St. Mark’s community groups across Alamance County that meet in homes, coffee shops, office breakrooms, local parks, or anywhere people gather.
If you want to get plugged in with other people who want to grow closer to Christ and others, joining a community group is for you!
Connect to a community group: God made people to live in community, which is why we believe small groups are important. Community Groups are small groups of people who meet throughout the week at different times. Click here to find your group.
Lead a group: To lead, we ask that you be a follower of Jesus, a member of St. Mark’s, and take our leadership training course. We’re so glad you’re interested in leading a small group! Filling out this form is the first step in this process.
