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!
ROOTED is an all-church discipleship pathway engaging people in a 10-week small group experience designed to connect people to God, the church, and each other. This is done by focusing on 7 rhythms of faith essential to a healthy relationship with Jesus but experience them in community. Those rhythms are: daily devotion, prayer, repentance, sacrificial generosity, serving the community, sharing your story, and worship.
New Rooted Group opportunities will be available in 2024!
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 lead 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
It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.
Each GriefShare session has three distinct elements: Video seminar with experts, Support group discussion with focus, Personal study and reflection.
