GROUPS
A2 is an Acts 2 biblically functioning church. We place a high priority on members meeting together throughout the week. This was modeled by the early church who were “day by day…breaking bread in their homes” (Acts 2:46).

Why Groups?
don’t do life alone.
Groups are at the heart of discipleship at A2, and it is our desire for every member to be plugged into community through groups. In groups, you are known, cared for, and loved. We believe real life-change happens in the context of relationships.
What's a Group?
laugh, love + share
It’s a diverse group of A2 members who share a common love for Jesus that meet regularly in someone’s home or other meeting place to eat together, laugh together, study the Bible together, pray together + just do life together. It’s community at its best: authentic relationships grounded in biblical faith.
Why do I have to be a member to join a group?
Covenant Gospel Community
We value what happens in a community when the primary thing bringing people together is not their season of life or common interests, but their mutual faith in Jesus Christ. Membership is required for groups because we value the discipleship and formation of each person who comes through our doors. Also, groups stay together over the years. This allows deep and transformational relationships to form among members who know they are committed to one another.

Group FAQS.
How often do groups meet?
Groups meet on a weekly basis during the spring and the fall (12 weeks each semester). Groups stay together throughout the years as a covenant community and break over the summer with optional monthly social gatherings.
What types of groups does A2 have?
Most of our groups are what we would consider a covenant community of diverse believers with varying life-experience, seasons of life, and cultural backgrounds. Group members share a common faith in Jesus Christ and are able to learn from the diverse walks of life represented in each group. We also have some life specific groups through our Men’s, Women’s, Next Gen, and Marriage Ministries.
Where do groups meet?
Groups meet all over the Greater Birmingham area, primarily in homes. It is our goal that most are able to be in a group that is close to where you live.
Is childcare available?
We work with groups to make sure that a lack of childcare doesn’t prevent anyone from being an active member of their group. Most groups will jointly hire a babysitter to watch all of the kids in that group in another room at the house. There are other options available to secure childcare, and we would love to work with you and your group to find the best option. If you want to be a part of a group but are concerned about childcare, please reach out to a staff member so that we can work to find the best solution.
Can I still get community without becoming a member at A2?
Absolutely! There are many ways to get plugged in and meet others without becoming a member at A2. Check our Calendar of Events for upcoming church-wide events. Any of the church-wide events we do are amazing ways to meet new people. Wednesday AM Prayer, A2U classes, potlucks, Sunday Nights, Bible Studies, and Men’s/Women’s/Marriage Ministry events are all events that we regularly do throughout the year.
