Small Groups

Small Groups at Bloomington primarily meet on campus at various times and days throughout the week. Wednesday night groups provide childcare and a meal. Bloomington small groups focus on gathering together, growing in God’s word, and learning how to serve the neighborhood and surrounding community. 

This demographic represents the biggest segment of the Eastview family and consists of married couples and married couples with kids ages newborn to 18. These groups can also be sub-grouped in order to pair like stages (groups with kids in specific age stages). 

Primarily couples with no children at home or with children away at college. They have more free time in their schedules and are active in service. The age range normally starts around 50. It is not a requirement for everyone in the group to be an Empty Nester.

There are a growing number of men’s group that vary from similar stages of life to multi-generational men’s groups. The goal is for all men to be strengthened and encouraged to live out their Jesus-following life. 

Gaining a greater understanding of the addiction process and sexually compulsive patterns, this group experience will provide the safety, support, and tools needed to establish lifelong healing. 

Please contact Stuart at sblade@eastview.church if you have any questions.

“Multi-Gen” groups consist of individuals and couples from various age demographics of life. These groups approach spiritual growth through gleaning from a myriad of life experiences. It’s not uncommon to have 3-4 generations represented in these groups. Often times, mentoring and discipleship opportunities naturally emerge as a result of these groups. 

Women’s small groups are the primary place for women at Eastview to connect and grow in their Jesus-following journeys. There are a variety of women’s groups that meet throughout the week - some are based on life stage and others are multi-generational.

Betrayal and Beyond groups are for women who have suffered betrayal in their marriage from sexual addiction. Healing comes from understanding the role of trauma, establishing healthy boundaries, exploring the depth of forgiveness, and learning to live in restoration. 

For women who struggle with love, sex, porn, and relationship addictions who are unable to sustain healthy relationships with romantic partners, family members, and friends. These women desperately want to feel loved and accepted, but are continually disappointed by relationships. The pain and shame of their unwanted sexual behaviors leads them to a place they never intended. But there is hope! Discover how lifelong healing comes from a greater understanding of who God is and who He created us to be in this Unraveled group.

These groups meet in homes throughout the week, or as a mid-size group gathering on campus.  They are designed for young adults in their 20's to connect, learn, and grow during young adulthood.
