GROUPS

"Through the community I found at Meta, the relationships, the friendships, and the genuine care and concern, I felt safe enough to keep leaning in, and now that I hang out with Jesus, life feels a lot more possible!"

– Cynthia

Connection + Community

Whether you're new to following Jesus, have been a Christian for a long time, or simply curious about it all, Groups are a great way for you to connect with others, get involved at Meta, and move forward in your faith as you deepen your commitment to Jesus.

Getting Connected

Getting Connected

New York City presents no shortage of challenges for everyday life. This is especially true when it comes to finding people who make you better and who you actually like spending time with.

That’s why Groups at Meta are such a vital part of who we are and what we do. Our Groups are all about helping you connect with other people who live nearby, have similar interests, and are moving in the same direction when it comes to faith and life.
Forming Community

Forming Community

From the beginning, following Jesus and practicing faith has always been something best experienced within the consistency of a community. Community is about people coming together with a common mission to be transformed by Jesus.

That’s exactly what we aim to do with our Groups at Meta Church! From the beginning, being part of a community has been a vital part of the Christian faith and our goal is to help everyone at Meta experience that community in the form of groups.
Staying Consistent

Staying Consistent

The faith journey was never meant to be a "solo journey" or something navigated in isolation. On your own, it's too easy to get sidetracked, discouraged, or even lost. And doesn't even take into account all of the distractions that are so readily accessible to us, from our phones to our city.

At the same time, we all know that if anything of meaning or significance is going to become a routine part of our lives, then it's going to require commitment and consistency. Being part of a Group at Meta is one of the best ways to surround yourself with people who also desire to stay consistent in their walk with Jesus.

Practicing The Way

An intentional pathway to being with Jesus so you can become like Jesus and do what He did.

Long before they were ever known as Christians, and before they ever formed churches as we think of them, the earliest followers of Jesus were simply called "followers of the way."

These were regular people, deeply committed to spending time with Jesus and becoming like Him in their actions and lives. They did this by simply following "the way" Jesus laid out for them, and as they committed to themselves to this "way" their whole lives were transformed.

We have this same desire for you when you join a Group at Meta Church. The Practicing The Way Course is an intentional formation path that will help you learn the practices and disciplines needed to be with Jesus and become more like Him.

We want you to grow in your relationship with Jesus so that you, too, will become a disciple who follows the way.
