Small Groups
Our Small Groups are designed to be missional, transformational, and relational. They change us, help us grow, and get us to go out and do good in the world.
In Matthew 18:20 Jesus says, For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.
Questions & Information
Small Groups typically consist of 8-12 people who commit to dig deeper into their faith and their faith journeys together as a group. How did you hear about these Small Groups? Please let us know!
Please note times and dates are subject to change. For more information or questions, contact Baleta McKenzie, (212) 686-2770 ext. 434.
2025-2026 Small Groups
Consider these opportunities to grow spiritually and connect with others in the Marble community in person or on Zoom.
Exploring Your Spiritual Gifts
What are your spiritual gifts? You might think you don't have any, but every single person has received gifts from God to be used in our daily lives to serve God and our neighbors. Come explore what your spiritual gifts are (yes, you have some but might not know what they are yet!), engage in bible study about spiritual gifts, and then discern how you can best use them to lead a daily life of faith and purpose. Led by Dr. Elise Brown.
Meets Online via Zoom Thursday, January 29 from 6:15 to 7:15pm. (Will not meet on January 22)

Stephen Ministry Small Group Series
Join Stephen Leaders for a series of groups through May exploring ways in which we can care for others. Attend one or any session.
Active Listening
Led by Stephen Ministers: Elder Abigail Shue & Ted Gregory.
We have all faced those awkward moments in life where a situation occurs and we are with someone facing a difficult time and we have no idea what to say to them! It's not always having the right answers but about being present and asking the right questions.
How can we pray for someone in these situations if we do not know what they need.
Join Elders Ted Gregory & Abbey Shue for some tools to help us better understand the sensitivities and dynamics involved in active listening and come with your questions about past, present or anticipated issues and learn how active listening will help to navigate them.
Meets Online Wednesdays, January 28 and February 4 at 6:00pm.
