Christians thrive in community. Groups are a great way to connect with others, grow in faith and become stronger disciples for Christ.
-
We believe that life transformation happens best in small groups, and we are committed to seeing every person grow in their faith as they become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Our communities are modeled after the Book of Acts, characterized by accountability, servanthood, love and evangelism. We invite you to connect with a small group here at Woodridge.

Have you ever longed to truly understand the story of the Bible, from beginning to end? We invite you to join us for an incredible journey through Scripture as we partner with Village School of the Bible to offer the Cover-to-Cover Bible Class. This is more than a class, it’s an opportunity to encounter God in a fresh way, discover His redemptive plan woven through all 66 books, and grow in your faith alongside others. Whether you're new to the Bible or have read it for years, this experience will deepen your understanding and ignite your heart.
STARTING POINT
This monthly 30 minute gathering is great for anyone who is newer to Woodridge or anyone who wants to know more about our mission, purpose, beliefs and practices! Ask questions and find out ways to get involved.
COMMUNION CLASS
Communion class is geared towards families with elementary and middle school aged children but is open to anyone interested in attending. Pastor Annette Jackson provides teaching about the Biblical purpose of Communion. The class also covers details of how our Woodridge Church family partakes in Communion.
BAPTISM "WHAT'S" CLASS
We celebrate baptism by Immersion and believe the decision to be baptized is a personal act of obedience that every person is invited to make. As a church family, we corporately celebrate baptisms twice a year.
Prior to our church baptism celebrations, we offer a "Baptism What's" Class. In this class, Pastor Annette covers the questions, What's Up with Immersion?, What did Jesus say about Baptism?, What if I was baptized as a baby?, What difference does Baptism make? and What if I’m afraid of speaking in public?.
MEMBERSHIP CLASS

Becoming a formal member of Woodridge Church, is your way of saying I want to extend love and care to others who attend or who will attend in the future. You will hear the story of our church, its vision for the future and our core beliefs. Learn more and decide if you are ready to take that step. Being united in vision, values and mission, we begin to see the unstoppable nature of God’s church in a real, tangible way.
