Find your group

We would love to help you get connected to discipleship community on campus. Christ-centered relationships are one of the most profound ways to grow in your faith and experience God’s transformative power alongside others. Throughout the Fall and Spring semesters we have small groups offered through University Ministries that you and others can join that are led by some of our Spiritual Life Ambassadors. Small groups typically will meet weekly for a set amount of weeks determined by the leader(s).

This semester small groups will start the week of February 3, 2025!

If none of the small groups listed below fit your schedule or preferences, please know we also have many other small groups othered through our Faith Development Organizations. To find out more information about them reach out to any organizations you are interested in getting involved with by clicking here.

Care Groups

CARE GROUPS are designed to offer peer-to-peer support for students in similar seasons of life. They are intended to create a space for support and community with others during shared experiences.

All groups are open (no RSVP necessary) and you are welcome to come every week- or even just once!

For more information on any CARE GROUP, contact Christy Ridings, christy.ridings@belmont.edu!

untangling faith

Untangling Faith

Ever ask yourself: What do I even believe about that??? This group offers a space for real and honest reflection about your faith tradition, how it has shaped you, and what aspects may be evolving for you.

Each week the group will explore a topic and offer guided reflection by asking these 3 questions: What does my faith tradition say about (topic)? How has this shaped my personal understanding of (topic)? Do I find this perspective healthy or unhealthy in my life currently?

If you are looking for a place to share, to reflect, or simply want to untangle your beliefs- this is the group for you!

Last Wednesday of the Month, 11:30am (Bring your own lunch) in University Ministries (1st Fl Gabhart Student Center)
