FALL 2026
Our Fall Groups (DNA Groups and Growth Groups) are on hold for the Fall 2026 through Fall 2027 semesters.
At Renaissance Church, we believe we were created to be in community. We believe we're called to care for each other. This Fall 2026, we are launching our School of Discipleship. We've sensed a hunger to support our collective discipleship by digging deeper into core Christian theology, practices, and ethics. We want to explore these areas not to just get more knowledge, but to hopefully be transformed to look more like Jesus and impact the world around us.
We also value Community and believe it's the best way to learn, process, and apply what scripture teaches.
We invite you to learn more about the School of Discipleship, read FAQs, and register below.

WHAT ARE DNA GROUPS?
DNA Groups are on hold for the Fall 2026 through Fall 2027 semesters.
DNA Groups (Discipleship - Nurturing - Accountability) provide an encouraging space to wrestle with who Jesus is and what it means to follow him. God made us to be in community, so we need others to help us apply the gospel to our lives. DNA Groups are also a key way that our church ensures you are known and cared for.
Each week, DNA groups meet to watch a short teaching video, discuss the previous week's sermon, discuss life, and to pray together. All of the content is designed to help us follow Jesus and renew our minds with the gospel.
DNA Groups consist of 10-12 participants, who meet in person or via virtual video call (Zoom or Google), based on preference.
Each group will have a trained DNA Group Facilitator—someone who helps lead group discussions and handles communication logistics.
While we hope--and certainly expect--you to form friendships with people in your group, DNA groups are not social clubs. We intentionally place everyone in groups where they'll interact with people who have different backgrounds. We believe these diverse perspectives help us get more out of our scripture reading and give us more opportunities to put our faith into action. The ultimate goal is for us all to grow in the way we follow Jesus.

WHAT ARE GROWTH GROUPS?
Growth Groups are on hold for the Fall 2026 through Fall 2027 semesters.
Growth Groups help you to connect with people at Renaissance, while also getting the opportunity to go deeper on a specific topic over the course of eight weeks.
Each week, Growth Group members engage with teaching and discussion related to the selected topic. These teachings are longer than those offered to DNA Groups. The meetings will include both small group and large group discussion for more insight and spiritual formation. Each session will require your active engagement.
