reGroups are what we call our small group ministry at Reimage Church. We call them reGroups because they’re a place for us to come together again—to regroup around Jesus and community.

The overall vibe is very relaxed and welcoming. Most reGroups gather in a home or casual setting and usually begin with some kind of snack or shared meal. We’ll start with a simple icebreaker to help everyone ease into the conversation, especially if it’s your first time.

From there, we spend time sharing what God has been doing in our lives over the past week and how we’ve been trying to follow Him. Then we open God’s Word together—not as a lecture or classroom, but as a group discussion—asking questions, listening, and seeking what God might be inviting us to do next.

Your first time in a reGroup is all about connection. You’ll meet the people in your group, hear their stories, and get a feel for the rhythm of the group. Our hope is that reGroups become a place where you feel known, supported, and like you’ve found your people—your tribe.

Not at all. The main format we use in reGroups is called a Discovery Bible Study. That simply means we are discovering the Bible together.

You don’t need any prior Bible knowledge, church background, or theological training to participate. Whether you have zero experience with the Bible or you’ve completed a doctorate in seminary, you’ll feel right at home in a reGroup.

Discovery Bible Study isn’t about having the “right” answers—it’s about reading Scripture together, asking honest questions, listening, and learning from one another as we follow Jesus. Everyone comes as they are, and everyone is learning together.

No. You will never be forced to do anything you’re not comfortable with. reGroups are designed to be safe, respectful spaces where you can engage at your own pace.

That said, our hope is that over time, reGroups become more than just a place to observe or take in information. As relationships grow, many people find themselves wanting to participate—to share, encourage others, and speak life into the group.

What we usually see is a natural progression. Some people start out quiet, listening from the background, and gradually become more comfortable and more engaged as trust builds. There’s no pressure and no timeline—just an open invitation to grow and participate when you’re ready.

Childcare in reGroups is handled on a group-by-group basis. Different groups approach this in different ways, depending on the families involved and what works best for that group.

Some reGroups allow kids to play in another room while the group meets. Others include children in parts of the group time. Some groups arrange for someone to watch the kids, or families may take turns helping with childcare. At the beginning of each semester, groups usually talk through these options and decide together what works best.

It’s also important to know that not all reGroups provide childcare. We always encourage families to check the specific details of a group before joining so there are no surprises.

reGroups run on a semester system, which helps keep the commitment clear and manageable.

Our fall semester typically lasts around 10 weeks, while the spring semester is a little longer—usually about 12 to 14 weeks. Because Greenville is located roughly two hours from both the beach and the mountains, we generally take a break over the summer.

That said, some reGroups enjoy their time together so much that they choose to keep meeting informally during the summer months. Participation during that time is always optional.

That’s okay. If you join a reGroup and realize it’s just not the right fit, we’re happy to help you find another group or help you jump into a new reGroup in the following semester.

Our goal isn’t for you to attend a group you don’t enjoy—it’s to see you grow in your walk with Christ and find meaningful community. There’s no pressure and no awkwardness. We want reGroups to be a place where you can genuinely connect, not just show up.

We open reGroup sign-ups about four weeks before the start of each semester. During that time, you’ll be able to see the available groups and get a sense of when and where they meet.

Some reGroups naturally form around similar stages of life, while others include people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds. It really depends on the group. What matters most is a shared desire to grow in following Jesus.

No matter where you are in your walk with Christ—or what stage of life you’re in—we’re confident there’s a reGroup that can be a great fit for you. And if you ever need help choosing, we’re always happy to walk with you through the process.

There isn’t homework in the traditional sense. We don’t assign reading, worksheets, or lessons to complete during the week.

That said, at the end of each reGroup, we usually commit to one simple step of obedience we’ll take in the coming week. You could think of that as “homework,” but it’s really just part of walking with Jesus—putting what we’ve discussed into practice. The group is there to encourage one another, offer support, and help make sure no one gets stuck or walks alone.

reGroups also follow the Sunday teaching calendar. If you attend church on Sunday, you’re already prepared for group discussion. The Scripture passage is always available ahead of time as well, so if you’d like to read it before your group meets, you’re more than welcome to.

reGroups meet in a variety of places. Many gather in homes, some meet in different locations throughout the city, and a few meet at the church from time to time—though that’s not our primary preference.

Our heart is that people would see themselves as the church, not limit their spiritual life to a church building. Meeting in homes and everyday spaces helps us live out our faith where we already do life.

Specific meeting times and locations are listed during reGroup sign-ups, so you’ll always know what to expect before joining.

About four weeks before each semester begins, we open reGroup sign-ups after our weekly gathering. You can also sign up online through our website or church app.

Each reGroup usually includes a short description that gives you a sense of who’s in the group and what it’s like. Some groups are made up of people in similar seasons of life, while many others include people from all walks of life who come together under the banner of Jesus—to follow Him, grow spiritually, and enjoy meaningful community.

It’s hard to predict exactly who will be in your reGroup, but this much is true: it will be people like you—becoming more like Jesus together.
