Growth happens best when we pursue God’s Word together, building faith, deepening community, and living out Christ’s love.

Adult Growth Groups & Classes

One of the most powerful ways we can experience transformation in our faith is by journeying together with others, and that's exactly what our growth groups and classes offer. While participating in weekend worship services is essential, you also need a smaller group.  We like to say that everyone needs to move…

            …from sitting in rows to sitting in circles.

            …from looking at the backs of other people’s heads to looking at faces.

            …from listening to a monologue to sharing in a dialogue.

Being part of a group helps us grow in ways we couldn’t alone. Weekly gatherings create a safe place to share, encourage, and challenge each other. We walk together through the highs and lows, creating a connection that brings genuine transformation.

Throughout the year, we will offer a variety of ways to be connected through growth groups and classes.

Rooted Growth Groups

Joining a Rooted group is the first step in your growth group experience here at Ridgefield Church of the Nazarene. Rooted is designed to introduce you to the power of community, spiritual growth, and deeper connections with God and others. It’s more than just a program—it’s an immersive journey that lays the foundation for your future in growing through a small group. Whether you’re new to small groups or looking for a fresh start, Rooted is the perfect first experience to help you grow in your faith and build lasting relationships with others in the church family, no matter where you are on your faith journey.

Rooted is a 10-week small group experience designed to help you grow in faith and your daily spiritual rhythms. Groups meet weekly at the church for 10 weeks before transitioning to meeting at a leader's or host home.

Care Growth Groups

Life is full of challenges—seasons of joy, but also times of loss, stress, or uncertainty. As we journey in our faith, there are times we have to address the obstacles that pop up. No matter what obstacles you are working to overcome, struggles in marriage, with addiction, unhealed trauma, navigating faith while struggling with mental wellness, or other life obstacles, we believe that spiritual growth isn’t meant to happen in isolation, but in a community where faith, care, and healing come together. That’s why we’ve created Care Groups—safe, supportive spaces where people can walk together toward healing and deeper faith.

Where Faith and Healing Come Together

Care Groups are designed to help you experience the hope of Jesus in the middle of real-life struggles. Through guided conversations, prayer, and encouragement, you’ll find that God’s Word not only strengthens your faith but also brings comfort and restoration. As a participant in care groups you can expect:

  • Supportive Community – Walk alongside others who understand and care.

  • Spiritual Growth – Discover how God’s truth can transform your heart in the midst of difficulty.

  • Practical Healing – Learn healthy ways to process challenges with both spiritual and emotional tools.

Why Join a Care Group?

Because healing and growth are not separate journeys, they belong together. When we bring our faith into our places of pain, God meets us there with compassion, hope, and renewal.

Adult Bible Studies and Sunday School Classes
