Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be in a Connection Group and a Community Group?
You absolutely can. While it's probably best to only be in one Community Group, you are free (maybe even encouraged to) join as many Connection Groups as you would like. That way, you increase the likelihood of finding people you connect with.
What if I don't see a group I'm interested in?
A. Keep a watch on the Groups pages. We are always adding new groups.
B. Consider starting your own group. We promise it's not as scary as it sounds!
How long do I have to stay in a group?
While you can jump out of a group at any time, we encourage people to attend a group for several weeks before they make a long-term decision. Sometimes it takes time (and some added effort) to make great connections and build great friendships.
Our Connection groups have very few time commitments related to them - attend those gatherings as often as you would like. On the other hand, our Community groups meet for 13 weeks at a time, and we ask that you make an effort to attend as many of those meetings as possible to build a strong relationship with the group members.
What if I completed the form but haven't heard from the group leader?
We get it. Sometimes things go to trash or junk mail, or sometimes life gets a little busy. If you have completed an interest form and haven't heard back from the leader after two days, shoot us an email at grouplife@northmetro.org.
