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.

discipleship classes

NEW!! Wrestling with God: Lessons from the book of Job

Sunday Mornings 9:30 – 10:30am | 9/6 - 11/15 | Conf Room & Online

Leaders: Bill Kroah & Craig Wilson

Meeting Link: Provided in the weekly e-letter

One thing we can count on in life is trouble. Join this class to explore the fascinating and challenging book of Job. We will wrestle with some of life's deepest questions: Why do faithful people suffer? Where is God when life takes an unexpected and painful turn? Is it wrong to question God? And what does genuine faith in God look like in the middle of confusion and loss? Job's story offers a surprising message. 


COMING SOON!! Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

Sunday Mornings 9:15 – 10:30am | 9/13 - 10/11 | Parlor

Leader: Adam Condrick

Despite the Crucifixion’s central place in Christian faith, the New Testament offers few clear answers about how Jesus’ death saves—or why, exactly, he had to die. The New Testament writers use a host of metaphors—ransom, sacrifice, reconciliation, victory—but never explain exactly how it works or why it had to happen this way.  What if that’s because we’ve been asking the wrong question? What if the cross isn’t a transaction to be explained, but a living Word from God meant to transform who we are and how we live? Join us discuss Why Did Jesus Have to Die? by Adam Hamilton. All are welcome to join!


BACK ON 9/13!! Ezekiel Bible Study 

Sunday Evenings 7:00 – 8:00pm | Online  

Leader: Craig Wilson & others

Meeting Link: Provided in weekly e-letter

Ezekiel is a study of God’s people Israel, misusing the temple and displacing God for other things. It is a story of judgment and glorious hope that awaits God’s people. Join us to discuss this study from the Bible Project at https://bibleproject.com/classroom/ezekiel.

new small groups begin the week of Sept 6!

This fall, we’re stepping into a church wide sermon and small group series through 1 Peter — A Living Hope in Exile. In a world that often feels scattered, pressured, or uncertain, Peter’s letter reminds us that God has given us a living hope that steadies us, shapes us, and sends us out as His people.

 

Why Small Groups Matter

Small groups are the heartbeat of discipleship at Neelsville. They’re where Scripture becomes shared life, where encouragement becomes real, and where faith grows through honest conversation and prayer. If Sunday worship is the gathering of the whole family, small groups are the living rooms — places to be known, strengthened, and formed together. Whether you’re new, returning, or simply longing for deeper connection, this is the perfect time to join in.

Small groups will meet throughout the week — different days, times, and formats — so you can find a group that fits your rhythm.
