Home Groups
At Ballardsville Baptist, we believe no one should do life alone. We all need community. It is essential that you have people in your life that care for you and keep you accountable, people that you can serve our greater community with, and people that help you grow closer to Christ. All of this happens through Home Groups.
Home Groups are small groups of people (typically 8-12) that meet weekly or biweekly at various times in someone’s home. A typical Home Group gathering would include a meal together, hanging out, and a discussion about the past Sunday’s sermon where you can go deeper into the message – all while developing close friendships with people just like you.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do home groups meet?
Home Groups meet 1 night a week, 2-3 times per month. The day and time is always chosen by each group.
How long does a Home Group last?
Each group will be together on a semester basis - January through May and August through December. There are no formal Home Groups during the summer, but groups can choose to meet for get-togethers during off months.
Where do home groups meet?
Home groups meet in a group member or leader's home at various locations throughout Oldham County and surrounding counties.
How are groups formed?
People naturally come together that are in similar life stages and share common interests and experiences. We encourage an "oikos" based approach; that is, groups that are formed organically or multiplied through existing relationships with a member(s) of the group.
What do I do with my kids?
We leave it up to you and your group to arrange for childcare. Some groups pool together and pay for a sitter, some rotate childcare among the members, and some leave it up to the individual.
