Groups at Liquid Church
When did "flying solo" become the norm? Humans are designed to be in community with others. Whether it's studying the Bible or bonding over shared interests, Groups are a chance for you to step out of isolation and to pursue real, authentic relationships!
Announcing Activity Groups launching Sunday, January 25, 2026!
It's time to connect with others through shared interests!
Deep Dive Bible Study
This January at Liquid Church, we’re hosting Deep Dive Bible Studies through the book of Joshua, and you’re invited to join us! Deep Dive Bible Studies are designed to provide engaging and transformative opportunities to study an entire Book of the Bible from start to finish. Our desire is that Deep Dive will help you gain a deeper understanding of Scripture. This verse-by-verse study includes daily homework, guided conversations, and a rich weekly in-person or online gathering. This 10-week study is being offered across our campuses. Please note, our online Deep Dive Study is now FULL. Please email Discipleship Administrator Terri Laurens at [email protected] with questions.
Deep Dive FAQ
Tired of skimming the surface? Take a “Deep Dive” into God’s Word with our 10 week in-depth Bible Study of the book of Joshua! To learn more about what to expect from a Deep Dive Bible Study, explore our FAQ.
Deep Dive is a verse-by-verse, in-depth Bible study designed to help Christians who want to go deeper in their understanding of Scripture through careful study, daily homework, and guided conversation about God’s Word.
The Deep Dive Bible Study is offered in 5 physical locations and online. You can join us in-person in Mercer County, Morris County, Passaic County, Somerset County, and Union County Mountainside (with our Garwood Campus invited to join!).
The Deep Dive Bible Study is offered at three different times and in multiple locations.
-Tuesday Mornings: From 9:30-11:30AM in Morris County.
-Wednesday Nights: From 7:00-9:00PM in Mercer, Passaic, Somerset, and Union County Mountainside locations. (please note Somerset County will meet at the United Reformed Church in Somerville)
-Thursday Nights: From 7:00-9:00PM online via Zoom.
At all locations, this 2-hour experience is hosted by a Campus Pastor and a team of Deep Dive group leaders supporting the table discussion. Each meeting includes a teaching video and in-person gatherings include snacks.
Yes! Every participant in ALL of the studies must purchase the $25 workbook listed in the sign-up form to participate. (Please note, you make this purchase on your own and books are not provided). Additionally, in-person groups that meet on Tuesday morning and Wednesday nights must pay a $25 registration fee to cover food and facility costs. There is no additional charge for the online Deep Dive study.
Deep Dive is for everyone! While our study was written by Jen Wilkin, who is known for primarily writing Bible Studies for women, the Joshua content is applicable to both men and women. When meeting weekly, men and women will be together for the Large Group gathering (ie: Teaching Video). However, our smaller breakout Table Discussions will be based on gender (men with men; women with women). Please note this means spouses will not be sitting together during discussion time.
Absolutely! You will get the most out of our Deep Dive Bible Study by joining from the beginning, but you are welcome to join any week of the study.
Yes. Young Adults (20-somethings) will have their own discussion table at Deep Dive locations. However, this study would probably not be of interest to most High Schoolers. Please note that High School Students in Parsippany will have an opportunity to join their own Bible study - called Discipleship Cohorts - running at the same time from 7-9PM on Wednesday nights.
We are excited to share that on Tuesday mornings in Parsippany childcare will be available during the Deep Dive Bible Study. The cost is included in your Tuesday morning registration fee. You will be prompted to register your children for childcare after completing your Deep Dive registration. There is no childcare available for our Wednesday Night Deep Dive Bible Studies at any location.
No one will be allowed to change their Deep Dive registration and class after January 21st. This means you will not be able to switch locations, days, or from an in-person to an online option, etc. Once our Deep Dive classes begin, participants cannot switch between classes due to the confidentiality of the groups. Similarly, refunds will not be allowed after January 21st. Thanks for your understanding.
We will not offer refunds for our in-person Deep Dive classes after January 21st, which is when our Deep Dive classes begin. If you have a special circumstance and require a refund before January 21st, please reach out to our Discipleship Coordinator, Janise Brutus at [email protected].

Find an Activity Group
Community isn’t something we stumble into—it’s something we build! In 2026, we're launching a NEW type of small group called Activity Groups. These are intentional, life-giving gatherings where people connect around something they love––a shared interest! Your group could meet for a weekly hike, crafting, game nights, family-friendly outings, or even bonding over a charcuterie board. The goal is simple: to foster connection and make a large church feel small! Access our "Group Finder" and begin searching for your perfect fit! Want to start your own Activity Group? Fill out our interest form and we'll be in touch!
Activity Group FAQs
Do you want to connect with others through shared interests? Then Activity Groups are for you! To learn more, start by getting answers to some common questions via our FAQ.
The goal of an Activity Group is to connect members of our congregation around a shared interest or for a particular purpose. It could look like a weekly hike, a book club, a game night, crafting, family outings, or simply bonding over coffee or a charcuterie board. These groups are meant to foster connection and make our large church feel small.
Activity Groups may meet in-person or online... or be hybrid–switching between the two meeting styles. There are Activity Groups for EVERYONE: men, women, singles, parents, young adults, and more! Use our Group Finder at LiquidChurch.com/GroupFinder to see all of the options available.
The short answer is: EVERYONE. Whether you’re brand-new to Liquid Church or you’ve been coming for years, an Activity Group is a great next step if you want to connect with others through healthy, meaningful relationships.
We offer groups built around different affinities—whether that’s women, men, or anyone looking for community in their current season of life. We also have groups based on age and stage, so if you want to gather with peers who understand where you are, you can. Truly, there’s something for everyone.
Each Activity Group gathers around the purpose highlighted in their group name. While each group is unique, all groups open with prayer and then socialize around their particular activity, such as hiking, crafting, or even just playing at the park. The meeting will last somewhere around 1 to 2 hours.
Activity Groups meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis (decided by the group leader) during the course of three semester sessions in the Fall, Winter, and Spring.
While there are a lot of options available for hosting Activity Groups, all groups must be life-giving and for the glory of God. That means, there won't be groups gathering to discuss romance novels or watch horror movies, etc. You may also want to know that "group guides" will no longer be provided, so the Activity Group Leader must select a specific activity or theme for their gatherings.
Activity Groups meet for 10 weeks. When a new season of Activity Groups launches, you can sign up for another group or take a break.
Some do! In the description of each individual Activity Group, you will see whether the group provides childcare, children are welcome, or whether it is adults only. There are also groups that are designed for the whole family to participate or for a parent / child to join together.
At Liquid, we have three types of groups: Deep Dive Bible Studies, Support Groups, and Activity Groups.
Deep Dive is our in-depth Bible Study. This study is for people who have the time, desire, and dedication to study the Bible verse-by-verse with a commitment to daily homework (25+ minutes a day; 5 days a week) and weekly group gatherings. The larger goal of “Deep Dive” is to increase the biblical literacy of our congregation– exposing our people to the rewards of an in-depth study of Scripture.
Support groups help people find a safe space to receive the help they need. Whether it is freedom from anxiety or debt or a place to bear burdens around or finding a caring group of people who will walk alongside you through a difficult season or stage of life, support groups aim to help people live in greater peace and joy through their new life in Christ.
Activity Groups are all about sharing Christian fellowship around a particular activity. The goal of leading or joining one of these groups is finding connection and community with those who have a shared interest. We want you to form real relationships that enrich your life.
Thanks for your interest in leading an Activity Group. Your first step is filling out our Interest Form. Select "Activity Group Leader" from the dropdown list, and after submitting the form, we'll be in touch with your next steps.
If you have additional questions about hosting or joining an Activity Group you can email Discipleship Coordinator, Janise Brutus at [email protected].
