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. 

Care Groups are support groups that provide a safe place for you to focus or refocus on Jesus in the midst of life’s difficult situations. Whether it’s grief, divorce, addictions of various kinds, anxiety, PTSD, etc., you will be able to connect with others who are experiencing similar scenarios. Each group consists of leaders who have personally experienced that situation and can relate to what you are going through. 

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.

Our High school small groups are a key part of our Student Ministry at Eastview because we believe our journey of faith is a personal one, but not a private one! Students are sorted by grade and gender and meet on Wednesday nights in host homes all over town. 

We believe that Junior High Small Groups are the best way for students to grow closer to Jesus. Students meet on Wednesday nights (September-May) from 7-8:30pm in same-grade, same-gender groups led by dynamic adult leaders who love students and love Jesus.

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. 

“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. 

Online groups are quickly growing and allow us to connect regardless of where we live, our pace of life, or the situations we are in. Online groups are primarily experienced in two ways; through a zoom (video) group weekly, or through a Facebook group that provides daily interaction.

Sojourn is a corporate small group gathering for young adults ages 25 and under and is a place to connect, learn, and grow in the early years of young adulthood. For more information, visit eastview.church/youngadults

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.

These groups meet in homes throughout the week and are designed for young adults in their 20’s to connect with one another and connect with Jesus.
