This upcoming Fall 2024 season, here are some notable dates:

• Sunday 9/15 1:45pm training

• Sunday 9/22 6pm Unveil

• 9/30-12/8 weekly groups

  • 11/11-11/17 Outreach week

  • 11/23 Conference

We love your heart in wanting to serve God’s kingdom where that is! All Kalos small group leaders are required to attend Sunday morning service(s) and call Kalos their home church.

We understand some schedules may not make it feasible for a weekly group, but we firmly believe meeting once a week encourages commitment & consistency, which deepens relationships in a significant way. Since our seasons are only 7-13 weeks long, the less frequent you meet, the more disconnect they will be & feel. At this time, we are only offering weekly groups.

We will set everything up for you on our groups page. At Unveil on 9/22, we will announce all of the groups for the seasons and pray over the leaders. Guests will have one week to sign up before they launch.

When guests sign up, they will be signing up according to the day, time, location, & demographic (if applicable) that best suits their schedule.

Unlike previous seasons, please do not invite people to your specific group. We intentionally want people to join a group not knowing who the leaders are to promote cross pollination of friend groups. This makes it more comfortable for people newer to Kalos to enter in and join community.

Groups will remain open the entire season for new people to join. This will allow everyone new to Kalos after launch for them to participate.

One of our leaders will reach out to you to go over your group details. In the meantime, please do the following:

1. Attend our leader training on Sunday 9/15/24 1:45pm-3:45pm. Dinner, beverages, & childcare will be provided. Please let leadership know if you (and your kids, if applicable) will be there so we can plan accordingly.
   
   During training, we will cast vision for small groups, goals for the season, and what your group night should look like. We will not be diving into the material itself.

2. Plan the logistics of your group (with your co-leader/host, if applicable), such as location, time, certain demographics (ex. mens, womens, parents, young age specific, etc.). If you need help with a location, our leadership team will work with you with options.

3. Before training, we will send out the curriculum material, videos, etc. for how to lead your group. Review all of this before training. Please note; we will be providing copies of the leader workbook, but not the book itself.

In the fall season we all do the same topic as an entire church.  The other (winter & summer) seasons, we have what we call “free market” groups. You can choose whatever interests you, whether that be an activity (cooking, soccer, golf, dance, art) or topic (Bible study, finance, photography). 

This upcoming Fall 2024, every group will be going through Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer.

Fill out the form above! When one of our leaders reached out, let them know you don’t have a location. We will do our best to match you with someone willing to host your group. At this time, we are not able to have groups meet at our church building.

While note technically required, it is HIGHLY encouraged. Co-leaders are very important to the success of a group. Shepherding people is not easy task. That’s why co-leaders are crucial. You have a partner to carry the spiritual load of the group, pray for your members, & coordinate scheduling/logistics. Should you become ill or need to travel, it ensures group can continue meeting.

Here at Kalos we embrace every story and strive to have an inclusive community for all. For the safety of Kalos as a whole, we require a background check of all volunteers on the Serve Team. We follow the guidelines and regulations of Bellevue School District. If there is an alert on your background check, our Executive Director will reach out to hear your story and to determine the best area to serve. An alert does not automatically disqualify you from serving, but might limit you to which area of our church you are able to serve. The safety of our team and guests is a top priority at Kalos Church.

Small Group leaders act as shepherds to our congregation– an extension of Pastors Pradeepan and Amreitha Jeeva, as they walk through struggles, deconstruction of faith, moments of celebration, life changes, and so much more with members of our church. Carrying the weight of this requires a standard we want to uphold.

Yes! If you have a home where you can host 12 people at most, we would encourage you to!

You can also decide the time and day, however, depending on the needs of our church, our leadership team may ask if you can make some changes.

Please note, groups cannot meet during church wide events such as Sunday morning services (any time before 2pm), Kalos Night, or Unveil. If your group schedule conflicts with any of these, we will ask you to reschedule it.
