GROWTH GROUPS
THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU!
Our vision at Verde is to have everyone in our church involved in either a Growth Group or another similar small group experience.
WHAT IS A GROWTH GROUP?
Here at Verde, Growth Groups are made up of 8 – 14 people just like you. They’re the place where the real ministry of the church takes place as we study God’s Word, encourage one another and share life together.
Growth Groups are led by trained leaders and meet on various days of the week in homes throughout the Verde Valley. An average meeting includes refreshments and lasts for an hour and a half. We have fall and spring semester growth groups that last 10 weeks. At the end of each session, you will have the choice of staying in the same group, trying a new group or even taking a break. During the summer months, most growth groups take a break.
Most groups are sermon-based where you get to roll up your sleeves and discuss how Sunday’s sermon works in real life. Some are special interest groups focusing on topics such as parenting, marriage, healthy living and Christian basics for new believers.
Summer growth groups: mid-June through July.
Fall semester growth groups: September through mid-November.
Spring semester growth groups: February through mid-April.

WORSHIP
Worship literally means “to attribute worth to someone or something”. We desire to worship God as “true worshipers” do; “in spirit and in truth”. We worship many things in our lives whether it be our new phone, sports teams or our favorite series on Netflix. God deserves the prominent place in our worship, above all those things.
One of the ways we worship Him at Verde is through singing to God as a group on Sunday mornings. We do this exuberantly as those who have been rescued by our Good Shepherd from sin and death.
Our style is somewhat blended. We sing many new songs from Hillsong, Bethel, and Passion, but also do many of the great hymns of our faith.
Our worship is a reflection of a life transformed by Jesus. As the old hymn states, “I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me”. This is our God. This is how he cares for us. We’d be honored to have you worship with us!
VERDE STUDENTS
MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY (MSM)
MSM is an exciting place for 6th-8th graders to be a part of the Verde Community Student Ministry. It is this ministry’s goal to help VCC students, as well as any 6th-8th grade student discover and live a God-centered life in their environment. The moment a student enters through the doors for the first time, they become a part of the Verde Students family.
Any middle school student is welcome to be a part of the MSM youth services which include Wednesday night youth groups from 6:30-8:00 and seasonal Sunday mornings from 11 AM to Noon. Wednesday nights are the most inviting time for a student to join a group as we tend to have crazy fun through food, games, and a challenging message from God’s Word before settling down for small groups.
HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRY (HSM)
HSM is an exciting place for freshman – senior students to be a part of the Verde Community Student Ministry. It is this ministry’s goal to help VCC students, as well as any 9th-12th grade student discover and live a God-centered life in their environment. The moment a student enters through the doors for the first time, they become a part of the Verde Students family.
Any high school student is welcome to be a part of the HSM youth services which include Sunday night youth groups from 6:30-8:00 and seasonal Sunday mornings from 11 AM to Noon. Sunday nights are the most inviting time for a student to join a group as we tend to have crazy fun through food, games, worship, and a challenging message from God’s Word before settling down for small groups.
