The Arbuckle GC meets on Sunday mornings in Clarksville to eat, sing, pray, and study together. As most of us have kids, we balance having family dinners together while also hanging out as friends without kids running around. In everything, we want to encourage each other towards experiencing and walking in His faithfulness.

One Sunday morning every month in West Austin, the families of the Fowler GC (and over 20 kids between us) gather to eat kolaches and donuts and study God’s word together. Slightly less chaotic are the men’s and women’s discipleship groups that meet weekly in the early mornings at Honey Ham (guys), and late nights at Starbucks (ladies). Our GC is a loving community of believers who help point each other to the peace and love of Christ.

The Zinnecker GC is a multi-life stage collection of folks that range in age from toddler to the sixties. Our full family gathering is the last Sunday of each month. The men meet weekly at 7:45 on Friday mornings, and the women get together Wednesday evenings at 7:30.

One thing you should know about our group: our dinner game is on point! We strongly believe that a robust and full bodied Bible study pairs well with an aromatic and hearty meal. Our group is a pretty diverse community built around solid friendship that gathers each week to talk about how the truth of God’s Word intersects with our actual lives.

The LaFollette GC gathers on Monday nights to talk and pray through how the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection impacts our day-to-day lives. Our GC is marked by laughter, hospitality, and authenticity. It’s a safe place to show up and share about our real struggles without having all the answers.

Fondly referred to as “the young group”, the Moore GC meets every Monday on the east side to remind each other that the gospel transforms us and gives us new life. Their GC is exceptionally great at arm wrestling, eating Fresa’s, singing Happy Birthday when it’s not your birthday, and supporting each other’s work and interests.

Another one of Providence’s younger GCs, The Moser group meets every Monday night. Our group is focused on studying the word and growing in community through praying for each other, serving together with Mobile Loaves and Fishes, and encouraging each other in our vocations.

We’re a bunch of young families who meet every week and are trying our best to love each other the way the Bible calls us to, accepting the whole family as part of the community, and being involved in the lives of friends’ kids. We will force you to sit through people saying nice things about you on your birthday, which some of us have come to accept. Our guy’s D-group is always down for a new taco spot.

Transition your weeks well and join Tuesday nights with the Rogers GC. We are a group that invites rich discussion around applying God’s words to our lives as disciples today. Together, this crew is working on deepening our friendships and faith, supporting each other through life’s ups and downs, and learning more about God’s character and truth. We typically range from mid 20s to 30s in age, with a mix of singles, married and young families. But all are welcome to come be a part of our group!

Affectionately known as the “best” GC, The Scharbach group meets in living rooms on the east side, where you can always expect witty one-liners, homemade bread, and a tight schedule. Some of the members work in tech, some are mommas, some build things, and some grow things. They love welcoming new people and often send out group emails for spontaneous weekend dinners and game nights.

One of the most distinguishing characteristics of of our GC is diversity. From our age range, backgrounds, vocations, to life stages, we are all quite different. Though we’re different in many ways, we are the same in our commitment to genuine community and our relentless pursuit of the gospel. We work together to take care of each other and have seen God come through in mighty ways over the past 3 years. Needless to say, we are not without flaw and sometimes like to settle things the ole fashioned way, with an arm wresting match!

The Hebert (pronounced A-BEAR) GC meets up in the Jollyville area on Wednesday nights. We do life together with playdates, pick-up basketball games, our annual ladies’ weekend getaway, and any excuse to throw a good party! We’ve gotten pretty great at Care Calendars and baby showers over the last few years and the kids now outnumber the adults. We are in the thick of it together and strive to continually point each other to the Gospel in our parenting, our careers, and our relationships.

The McKnight GC meets weekly, and our group is full of working professionals, graduate students, parents, and lots of young children! Our gatherings rotate each week so that each month includes a gathering of men, women, men and women separately, and a family night when little ones join for the fun. Our group loves to care for and encourage each other in our walks to experience God’s love and serve others.

The Rao GC meets on Wednesday nights in the Tarrytown neighborhood to dig into God’s Word and apply the gospel to our lives. We represent many different life stages and can be found hanging around Austin thanks to our amazing ‘GC Fun Committee’ or serving at Foundation Communities.

The Smith GC is one of the oldest at Providence, both in terms of how long it’s been around, as well as the average age of the people in it. It is a mix of of singles and families, with kids ranging in age from 6-19 years old. Since getting that many families together every week is pretty challenging, we meet weekly in men’s and women’s small groups, mostly in the SW area of Austin. We aim for depth in our time together and focus on the challenges and joys of living out the gospel with our families. In terms of our mission, the group’s focus has been on building gospel bridges with our neighbors, fostering care and adoption, as well as caring for underserved communities through Mobile Loaves and Fishes.
