Christian Layman Church
Jesus says all are welcome at His table. At CLC, HOME Groups are a place to gather during the week to eat together, reflect on God’s Word, pray, laugh, play, and do life together. Our groups meet in different locations, on different days, and with different rhythms, but they all share a desire to follow Jesus and grow together in community.
Take a look below and find a HOME Group that fits your season of life and schedule. Just come as you are. You might share a meal. You might talk about Scripture. You might pray. You might laugh a lot. You don't have to find the perfect group on your first try. Come visit a group, meet some people, and see what feels like a good fit. If you're not sure where to start, Pastor Cheryl would love to help you find a place at the table!
7:00-8:30pm 2 Fridays/mo.
Our Alameda HG includes singles, couples, and families with both young and older children. We meet the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month from 7:00-8:30pm. Our meetings consist of studying the Word, sharing and praying for one another. In the past we have done inductive Bible studies, topical studies of interest/relevance, or have followed with the church’s sermon series. We look forward to continue to grow in our walk with the Lord as well as serving in our communities.
6:45pm-9:00pm 2 Fridays/month
We are a diverse mix of singles & couples with kids, introverts & extroverts, ministry workers & seekers, but one thing we all have in common is the desire to grow in our faith and learn from each other. We have some in depth discussions, we delve into the Bible, we laugh a lot and have awesome snacks and Christmas parties too! We normally take a break in June, July and August then we restart in September!
2nd & 4th Saturdays each month
The El Cerrito/Berkeley Family HG aims to live life together. Our hope is to grow in community through Bible study, prayer, fellowship, service, and food. Our group consists primarily of families with school-aged children, but we welcome all ages and life stages! We generally meet the second and fourth Saturdays from 5:00-8:30pm, alternating between Bible study and dinner, and a family-friendly group activity/outing.
7:00pm-9:00 pm Wednesdays
We are a diverse mix of singles and couples (with and without kids). We live in different parts of the East Bay, from Alameda to Richmond. We can all fondly reminisce about good 80s/90s music and fads, to give you a sense of our age group. Many of us are/have been very active in CLC’s various ministries.
We love to fellowship and eat together! Our group meets every Wednesday in the Oakland Hills. The evening starts off with dinner, and we take turns providing food for the entire group. For the second hour, we typically alternate between a week of study and a week of sharing/prayer.
Our group strives to build a strong community and a deeper knowledge of God. Because we meet on such a regular basis, there’s a wonderful opportunity to really share and experience life with each other, as well as build upon our relationship with God through strong teaching. An added bonus: when we enjoy a great meal prepared by someone else, we truly feel blessed!
Twice monthly
The Orinda Home Group tailors its meetings around the needs of its members and usually meets during a weekday. We are open to everyone, but consist mainly of parents of high school, college and working kids. We meet in Orinda and always start with dinner, followed by a short study and lots of time to hang out afterwards. We are God-seeking folks who struggle together through life stages such as aging parents, supporting our college-age and working children, and marital issues. We are a super casual group, full of mistakes and non-judgmental. Praise God!
6:30pm - 8:30pm. Meet in El Cerrito 5 x's, exact dates TBD. Space is limited.
This short-term group is for those dedicated and committed to attending all 5 meetings and desiring to grow deeper in their faith and discipleship to Jesus.
