Small groups are where we build community and accountability.
We gather together to pray, study the Bible, and build community.
These small groups meet throughout the week during the academic year.
Here are the days and times for Spring 2025 small groups.
TBA
All groups will be meeting in the IST Commons and then maybe find an open room.

Our format for small group studies is to use the COMA method of Bible study. COMA stands for Context, Observation, Meaning, and Application. Handouts for the COMA method are available below. But, for this semester, you only need the handout for the epistles (letters) of the New Testament. Here’s the handout (PDF, or Google Doc). We’re going to be studying the book of James. You should also take some time to watch this 8-minute video Overview: James:
Here’s our outline for the book of James.
Week 1 = 1:1-18
Week 2 = 1:19-27
Week 3 = 2:1-13
Week 4 = 2:14-26
Week 5 = 3:1-12
Week 6 = 3:13-18
Week 7 = 4:1-12
Week 8 = 4:13-5:12
Week 9 = 5:13-20
Here are the COMA outlines (with more coming soon):
COMA for Old Testament narratives (PDF, or Google Doc)

We also offer these accountability questions for use in co-ed small groups and for use in men’s discipleship groups. and women’s discipleship groups.
