Groups
Share life and make disciples.
Our groups exist to help us follow Jesus together, building deep relationships as we care for one another and grow in Christ.
Groups help make a larger church feel small, creating environments where we can cultivate relational depth and pursue intentional discipleship.
Connection Groups are mid-sized groups designed for meaningful conversation and shared growth. Open to anyone who has completed our Launch Point class, these groups center on prayer,
gospel application, and learning together.
Discipleship Groups are smaller groups designed for intentional discipleship and spiritual formation. Open to members of Veritas Church, these groups are committed to cultivating the core tenets of Bible reading, repentance, prayer, and missional living.

Four Tenets of DGroups
We believe disciples of Jesus Christ grow as they
regularly practice the following disciplines:
Read & Reflect (Bible)
What has God been speaking to me through His Word?
Repent & Receive (Repentance)
How have I fallen short of God’s glory, and how is the gospel good news?
Request & Respond (Prayer)
What am I needing to ask for/talk to my Heavenly Father about?
Rejoice & Relay (Mission)
How am I living out the joy of my salvation and sharing my faith with others?
