We all long for a better understanding of God's Word, a more meaningful experience of fellowship, and the companionship of like-minded believers. The good news for us is that the Lord has provided us with great tools to draw nearer to Him and to better understand His word and His will.


For most Christians, the church becomes most real in a small group setting. Principles and ideas are best absorbed through discussion with a few friends. Our joys and concerns are most easily spoken and most fervently prayed for with a few familiar faces. People are more genuine, discussions are more thoughtful, care and compassion become evident.


God has designed us to share our faith and our journeys with a small group of friends. We want you to have that experience! Neelsville offers a wide range of small groups and classes, and we encourage you to connect! These include weekly or bi-weekly small groups, Bible studies, and classes. Some are for men, some for women, some for youth, some for couples, some for anyone at all. Some meet online while others meet in person.  Most of these groups have 5-15 members, and include time to share and catch up, time to pray together, and a study our lesson together.


We invite you to join any of the classes, Bible studies and small groups listed below! Contact office@neelsville.org for more information.

Ever feel that following after and obeying God is hard? Disciples are called to serve the Lord of all creation, but it will be a hard, yet life- fulfilling work.

NEW!! How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being That Guy)

Sunday Mornings 9:30 – 10:30am | 1/4 – 2/8 | Room 1

Leader: Jeff Rickett

Contact: pastorjeff@neelsville.org

Pastor Jeff just finished a month of sermons emphasizing evangelism and advertised a Sunday Morning class to come and… here it is! Why does personal evangelism feel so awkward today? Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But in a post- Christendom world, personal evangelism is viewed negatively as offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. In How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being That Guy), Sam Chan equips everyday Christians who are reluctant and nervous to tell their friends about Jesus with practical, tested ways of sharing their faith. The book can be purchased on Amazon.
