The other two weeks the groups are encouraged to get together outside the church. However I am finding that this is not happening as much as I would like...even with my personal group.

We focus on care 20% of the time, growth 60% of the time and Impact 20% of the time. Care can be anything from just hanging out and having fun or visiting a sick member of the group. We also use this time as the entry point for nonbelieving students. Growth happens through study and discussion. Impact happens within the city and throughout the world via service trips.
