Find Your Community
Whether you’re exploring Christianity or have followed Jesus for a while, Echo Groups are one of the best ways to grow in faith, connect in friendships, and make a difference with your life.
Our groups typically consist of 8 to 15 people who meet weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly in different locations around the Bay Area. Joining an Echo Group helps you experience the benefits of being connected within a community of faith.

Lead or Host a Group
Leading or hosting a group is one of the most impactful ways you can help people grow in their faith and build community. You don’t need to have all the answers — just a willingness to create space for people to connect, grow, and follow Jesus together.
Whether you’d like to facilitate a Bible study, host a group in your home, or lead a group around a shared interest, we’ll equip you with the tools and support you need every step of the way.

More About Groups
If you have additional questions or need help, let us know.
Groups in spring and fall usually run for four months (semester cycle). Summer groups start in early June and conclude at the end of July. If groups have already launched, you are welcome to join at any time during the semester. Although our groups run on semester cycles, many of them meet on a long-term basis, giving you the option to continue in your group from semester to semester or switch groups based on your season of life.
Some groups offer childcare, which would be noted in the group description. In such cases, a small fee may be applicable.
No, all groups are free, except when there’s a cost for curriculum or supplies related to your group. In those cases, the price will be mentioned in your group description.
Yes, but we encourage you to join a group closest to where you live or the campus you attend, since that will make it easier for you to experience long-term friendships and connections with those in your group.
