As a church, our purpose is to help people connect with God and others. The purpose of a GROUP is to help people strengthen these connections and be growing disciples.
This reflects our desire to follow a command of Jesus when He said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20).
Our primary goal is to create environments where people can be Growing Disciples. A Growing Disciple is someone whose relationship with Jesus is impacting every area of their life. They are taking specific steps to intentionally grow in one or more of the following areas: Discipleship, Community, Serving, and Mission.
Discipleship – learn to put God first; grow in the understanding of who God is and who He has made you to be.
Community – find others you can build meaningful relationships.
Serving – see and respond to needs around you by using your spiritual gifts, passion, personality, and natural abilities.
Mission – help make our world a better place and reach out to others with the love of Jesus.
We have many different types of groups to help you find one that fits your needs. Below you will find a description of each group type and the option to search for a group by area, night or type.
If you need help finding the right fit at any time, email our team at groups@centralcc.ca, and someone will be more than happy to get you started.

Niagara Falls Community Group
Leader: Jeffrey Tuffour
If you are new to groups, looking to try out a community group of 20-30 people who meet in the Niagara Falls area, this group is for you. We are a lively, mixed group, with a variety of ages, open to any adults. Grace, mercy, love, forgiveness—these are core tenets of the Christian faith. And yet, a journey through the Old Testament, especially through the 'law books,' or the Pentateuch, can have us wondering if we are talking about the same God of the New Testament! To our modern-day thinking, the Old Testament laws seem harsh, unyielding and extreme—perhaps even fanatical. Did God really say that, we may wonder? Is it still relevant to us today? Which rules of the Old Testament should we follow? This community group held at: McBain Community Centre - Coronation Room Wednesdays, 7:00-8:15pm

Are they building you up or tearing you down? Are they drawing you closer to God or pulling you away? In Every Thought Captive, you will explore a topic crucial for your spiritual growth: the battle for your mind. Learn to actively and intentionally challenge your thoughts. This isn't a study on the power of positive thinking—or how you have the power to change your life—but about learning how God made your brain. He will transform your life as you learn to take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of his Word. Led by Tracey Langlois

Journey to Peace Mixed Support Group
Leader: Teri Venzon
Many who complete the Freedom Session support group describe it as one of the most life-changing and practical steps in their Christian journey—a 10-month path to healing and freedom in Christ. But the journey doesn't end there! Staying connected with others who've walked a similar path is key to lasting growth and encouragement. This group is open to all adults (whether you've completed Freedom Session or not) who would like to strengthen their relationship with God. Together, we'll explore Scripture, pray, and support one another on a shared journey of faith. Led by Teri Venzon Monthly, Mondays 7:00 - 8:30pm

Assembling Hygiene Kits for Women Globally
Leader: Linda Enns
Every year, women, girls and people with periods go without quality, accurate and safe menstrual health education. Without it, stigma, shame and taboos persist, often holding women and girls back from attending school and going to work. Our group from around the community gathers monthly to cut, iron and sew menstrual hygiene kits to be distributed to girls and women around the world. Come join us! No sewing skills required but serving heart is great. If you have sewing machine or serger, please do bring that along as well as sewing scissors, cutting mats and blades and rulers are helpful. Friends and even your teenagers who are willing to work are welcome to join us. It is a night that is so great for the heart and soul as we create something to support others who do not have.

Filipino Community Group
Leader: Estelita Mafe
This community Group is a chance for the members of the Filipinos Community here at Central to connect with God and each other. The resurrection is the most important moment in history. It’s an event that should be celebrated and talked about more than once a year. Join us after Easter Sunday as we take a deeper look at Jesus’ life, death and resurrection in a video series from Pastor J.D. Greear (on RightNow Media). After the video series, we will resume our study of Exodus. This is an online group facilitated by Noel and Estelita Mafe and Maria Besa. 2nd and 3rd Tuesday of each month

Women's Small Group | Morning Online
Leader: Tracey Langlois
This is an early morning woman’s group with several ongoing studies between September and June. Join us for a session, a series, a few of our series or you can join us for the full experience. March 18 to April 22 Finding the Strength, Purpose, and Faith to Get through a Season You Didn’t Expect April 29 to May 27 Are your thoughts leading you toward transformation or conformity? Are they building you up or tearing you down? Are they drawing you closer to God or pulling you away? In Every Thought Captive, you will explore a topic crucial for your spiritual growth: the battle for your mind. Learn to actively and intentionally challenge your thoughts. This isn’t a study on the power of positive thinking—or how you have the power to change your life—but about learning how God made your brain. He will transform your life as you learn to take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of his Word. Led by Tracey Langlois
