At CBC, we believe deeply that life is better together! 

Life-change happens best in the context of relationships, and our hope is that every person can find a smaller environment where your name and needs are known. 

One of our four core values is Build Kingdom Family, and Community Groups serve as a primary vehicle to help us accomplish that vision. 

We are a church of Community Groups (not with Community Groups!) and Groups are an excellent way for you to grow deeper in your relationship with God and to be known, cared for, and pastored in a spiritual family. 

Our groups meet regularly in homes, apartments, and coffee shops throughout the city to pursue authentic relationships, experience biblical fellowship, and deepen their love for God together. 

Each year, we launch groups during two major semesters - one in January and one in September. Below is our 2025 calendar: 

Spring Semester: January 25-26

Fall Semester: September 6-7

Our Group Finder tool (listed above) will open two weeks before those semester start dates, and you can search for a group and join one that is best for you! If you arrive at CBC mid-semester, feel free to use our Group Finder tool to see which groups still have openings and jump in!

We have Groups of all kinds! We have a Free Market system, which means there are a variety of groups to choose from. You can choose from:

Hobbies or Interests - like hiking, pickleball, basketball or sewing.

Life-stage Groups - like students, young adults, single, married couples, parenting, or empty nesters.

Various Topics, Studies & Curriculums - like Bible studies, Sermon Discussion Question groups, Care groups, Prayer, Outreach, and more!

We offer 3 semesters throughout the year to join a group. Most groups will meet weekly during these times in 2025:

January 26 - April 27 (13-weeks)

June 1 - July 12 (6-weeks)

September 7 - December 6 (13-weeks)

Most community groups meet in homes, apartments, or coffee shops throughout the San Antonio area.

Group time will vary based on the activity or study, but generally the time usually is broken into the first hour of intentional fellowship and prayer, while the second hour centered on God’s Word through a biblical study or activity of some kind.

Since most Community Groups meet in homes, we do not offer childcare. We encourage every Group to discuss their childcare needs and to make a decision together based on what is best for your family. Some groups choose to have their family or friends watch their kids during group time, while others let kids play independently in the room next door or even use a shared-sitter approach. A key principle we recommend is creating space for authentic adult conversations where little ears are protected. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
