Helping You Find Community

At Faith Covenant Church, we believe discipleship is not an event—it is a lifestyle. It is the daily invitation to know Jesus more intimately, to be transformed by His Word, and to faithfully follow where He leads. Our small group pathways provide a rhythm of consistency, accountability, and deep relationships as we pursue Jesus together. They create space to hear from God personally while also allowing others to encourage, challenge, and strengthen us along the journey.

Basecamp

Base Camp is a 10-week on-ramp designed to introduce you to the heartbeat of discipleship at Faith Covenant Church. During these ten weeks, you’ll experience what it looks like to walk with Jesus daily, build meaningful relationships, and discover the small group pathway that best fits this season of your life.
Aspen Underground is a small group designed to help people slow down, explore the Bible more deeply, and discover how its teachings connect to everyday life. Together, the group works through Scripture verse by verse, asking questions, exploring the meaning of words and ideas, and considering the historical and cultural context behind what was written.

Each person uses a guided journal to reflect on what they’re learning and how it might shape the way they think, live, and interact with others. Aspen Underground is less about having all the answers and more about creating space to be curious, pay attention, and put what you’re learning into practice.
Aspen Echo is a small group that journeys through the entire Bible over two years, helping you understand the bigger story and how its different books, people, and events connect. Rather than studying every verse in detail, the group focuses on recognizing major themes, patterns, and ideas that appear throughout Scripture and what they reveal about who God is.

Each day, you’ll use a guided journal to identify one key idea from your reading and consider how it connects to your own life. Aspen Echo is a great middle ground for those who want to read and understand more of the Bible while still having time to reflect, ask questions, and discuss what they’re discovering with others.
Aspen Summit is a small group for people who want to experience the entire Bible at a faster, more immersive pace. Over two years, the group reads through the Bible from beginning to end twice, giving you the opportunity to become familiar with its stories, themes, and how the different parts connect.

Instead of using a guided journal, you’ll interact directly with the text by highlighting, underlining, and making observations as you read. The group meets weekly to discuss what stood out, ask questions, and learn alongside one another. Aspen Summit requires a greater reading commitment than the other Aspen groups, making it a good fit for those who want to build a strong understanding of the Bible and become increasingly familiar with its overall story.

Community GROUps

Aspen Community Groups are designed to help people build meaningful relationships and find community at FCC. Groups gather regularly to share a meal, connect with one another, and discuss ideas from the previous Sunday’s message and how they relate to everyday life. There is also an emphasis on serving together and finding practical ways to care for the surrounding community. With a lighter weekly commitment than our Aspen discipleship groups, Community Groups are a welcoming place to make friends, ask questions, stay connected, and grow alongside others.

Meet the team.
