Valley Bible Church: Young Adults Ministry

Focus Groups

When: 3 times per year in 8-week intervals
Where: Various homes and cities
Cost: Free!!
Focus Groups are small groups specifically geared towards young adults. We call them Focus Groups because we are “focusing” on a specific life stage, such as newly-married, married with kids, and single. These are sermon-based groups which discuss the previous Sunday’s sermon. On Monday afternoons, each participant is emailed a two-page questionnaire, which they are to complete prior to their Focus Group meeting. Each night consists of a refreshment, discussion, and prayer time. We do understand that some seasons are busier than others, but we do ask for an 8-week commitment from each participant.
