Find Community
Becoming fully alive in Jesus means doing life in community. That being said, we get it. You’re busy. The demands of your day-to-day routine are exhausting. In the middle of that, it’s easy to skim your way through life and settle for surface-level relationships.
But Jesus has something better in store for you. He wants to take that nagging sense of loneliness you feel and give you real community in its place.
No matter your story or stage of life, we desire that every person at Plainfield Christian Church is part of a group!
We believe that there is power in creating community by opening our homes, as described in scripture concerning the early church (Acts 2:42-46).
A Home Group is a gathering of Christ followers for the purpose of practicing hospitality and growing in Christ together. These groups help us to grow through prayer, authentic Christian community, eating together, social interaction and biblical engagement.
Home Groups meet regularly in people’s homes and vary in size from 6-14 adults. Each group is led by a committed, trained Home Group Facilitator.

Lead a Home Group
If you call Plainfield Christian Church home, and God is moving you to lead a Home Group, we want to come along side you and help you begin this journey. God calls His people to real, authentic Christian community. At Plainfield Christian, we believe that happens best in a smaller group setting and the Home Group leader plays an integral part of that. Please complete the registration form and you’ll be on your way to joining us on this journey of creating community.

Life happens to all of us. Unfortunately, that includes the bad with the good. Whether it be financial issues, divorce, or a time of grief, Care Groups exist to offer people support in dealing with traumatic issues in their lives.
GriefShare Group
You weren't meant to handle difficult seasons on your own. It may seem impossible for you to be optimistic about the future right now.
Whether you have lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you have likely found that there are not a ton of people who understand the deep hurt you feel. During this time, our desire for you is that you don't have to feel isolated and alone in your pain and questions.
In Grief Share you will meet with a group of people striving to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Through video seminars, group discussions, and personal study, our goal is that you would find comfort in community.
Details:
- Dates: September 10 - December 3
