SMALL GROUPS
At Cokesbury, we believe that God designed us to be in community with him, with other Christians, and with the world. For us, Small Groups provide that community. When you commit to being a part of a Small Group, it won’t be long before you realize that life really is better together.
Small Groups invite us into deeper conversations and relationships with others who want to know and follow Jesus. Groups of up to 12 people gather weekly, currently using an online platform, outside the normal structure of weekend worship.
We form new Small Groups periodically throughout the year. Use the link below to register to receive an email when new Groups will launch.

TEACHING GROUPS
Teaching groups are led by a facilitator. Groups gather to learn through Biblically-based study and class discussion. These groups meet during the week or on Sunday. All Teaching Groups are currently meeting virtually.
When you join a group via the registration links, you will receive a confirmation email that will give you all the details you need in order to participate. Contact Mary Lou Sokolow at mlsokolow@cokesbury.tv or 865-246-0438 if you need assistance.
FOR EVERYONE
Flourish: Practices for Spiritual Growth - Flourish is a new year-long Teaching Group designed to help us learn and flourish in our relationship with God. Each month, beginning in February, Charles Maynard will share a short video that introduces the practice that we will consider for the month. We will also have a monthly Zoom discussion group, and reading assignments. We will be referring to our bibles and to the book Celebration of Discipline – The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard J. Foster.
This group will continue throughout 2021.
To be a part of this group, purchase the Foster book from your favorite bookseller and register here to receive the monthly videos and links for the Zoom group discussions. Discussion groups will be held on the last Tuesday of each month at noon and the last Wednesday of each month at 7:45 pm.
Monday Evenings at 6:30 pm The Gospel of Matthew facilitated by Mark Wilson.
My Marriage Matters - All relationships require communication and care, the relationship with our spouse, is no different, in fact it is one of the most important relationships we will ever have. Join this Email Group to receive weekly emails of creative date night ideas (even in the midst of a pandemic), tips for communication, and links to resources from relationship specialists.
