Church at the Grove

Community Group Curriculum Catalog

A private Community Group Curriculum Catalog, owned by Nathan Boyd, is designed for group leaders in the Community Groups pathway.

CURRICULUM

At Church at the Grove, we believe that what is taught in our community groups matters deeply. Scripture calls us to “hold on to the pattern of sound teaching” (2 Timothy 1:13), and we take that responsibility seriously. As group leaders, you are not just facilitating discussion—you are helping shape hearts, minds, and lives around God’s truth.

That’s why we place a high value on biblical, Christ-centered, and doctrinally sound curriculum. We want every conversation in our groups to be rooted in Scripture and aligned with the beliefs and mission of our church.

We have provide a list of recommended curriculum (see below) that has been reviewed and approved by our leadership. These resources are designed to equip you to lead with confidence, knowing you are pointing people toward truth.

We also welcome fresh ideas. If you have other curriculum or study suggestions that you believe would benefit your group, please bring them to one of our elders for review and approval before introducing them to your group. This ensures that we stay unified in teaching and faithful to the gospel.

Our goal is not just to fill time in group meetings, but to form disciples who know, love, and live God’s Word.

Curriculum Guides

We have created a catalog of approved curriculum that follows our believe, belong, become, and build framework. This list is obviously not exhaustive but is a good start in getting your group moving in the right direction. When picking a curriculum please consider the needs of your group and the season the members of your group are currently in.

Sermon Application Guides

At Church at the Grove, we believe that what followers of Jesus need is not more information but rather to live out what has already been taught. We don’t have an information problem but an application problem. This is why our community groups do not exist to do more in-depth Bible studies but rather they exist to have people engage relationally to practice the way of Jesus together.

Each week our pastors and leaders will develop an application guide for your group to use. These guides are not meant to just recap the sermon but to process how you and your group members can apply the truths to your life.

The best way to use these guides is to think of them as a funnel. You start broad to connect with everyone in your group and help generate conversation. The connect and check-in questions are vital in your group, do not gloss over these questions. As the group progresses the questions will become more detail-oriented and application focused. The questions are a guide, not the rule; if you feel like the Lord is leading the conversation in a different direction, follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Be sure each group ends with concrete actions steps and spends time praying for one another.

These guides can be found in the Church at the Grove App. Go to the “Media” tab, click on the correct campus and then pick series and sermon that you will be discussing. You should see a link to the application guide there.

RightNow Media

We have a new resource that is available to all of our groups to utilize, Rightnow Media. Rightnow Media is the Netflix of Bible studies and is a great tool that can be used if your group would like to do a particular study. If your group chooses to use Rightnow Media in your group please let us know and we can make sure that all your group members have access to the Rightnow Media library. You can also create a free account by going to this link: https://churchatthegrove.com/rightnow
