Small Groups

Valiant Men Groups

Valiant Men groups are discipleship-focused communities where men pursue Christ together, build meaningful relationships, and grow in intentional, everyday faith.

These groups are more than just Bible studies. They are spaces for real conversation, accountability, encouragement, and spiritual growth. Each group is led by different leaders and has its own unique rhythm and focus, but all share the same heart: helping men follow Jesus more closely and live it out daily.

Whether you’re looking to be strengthened in your faith, connect with other men, or simply take a next step, there is a place for you.

Women's Bible Study

All women are invited to join our Thursday morning Bible Study, a welcoming space to grow in your understanding of Scripture and build meaningful relationships with other women. The group meets weekly from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm at Keenes House and is currently walking through the book of Exodus, taking time to study, discuss, and apply God’s Word together.

This is a great opportunity to connect, be encouraged, and grow deeper in your faith alongside others. Whether you’ve been studying the Bible for years or are just getting started, you are welcome to jump in at any time.

If you have questions or would like more information, please reach out to Janice (530) 864-1786 or Rick (916) 284-4822.

Time: Thursdays, 10:30 am – 12:00 pm

Family Small Group

This small group is designed for young families with kids and meets at the Cox family home. The evenings are lively and full of energy, with kids enjoying time together while parents connect and build relationships.

We share a meal as families bring something to contribute, creating a relaxed and welcoming environment. Throughout the evening, we take time to laugh, talk through what’s going on in our lives, pray for one another, and discuss the previous Sunday’s sermon.

This is a closed group, but if you’re interested in learning more or being considered for a future opening, please reach out to Jason @ (530) 680-2734 or jason@abidechico.org

Prayer with the Keens

All who are passionate about prayer are invited to join this weekly prayer gathering at the Keen home. Meeting on Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 pm, this group is devoted to seeking the Lord together in a focused and encouraging environment.

Together, we pray for our church, our youth, our community, and for revival, lifting up needs and trusting God to move in powerful ways. It’s a meaningful time to grow in your prayer life, be strengthened in faith, and stand alongside others in intercession. Whether you regularly pray with others or are simply desiring to grow in this area, you are welcome to join.

If you have questions, please reach out to Janice (530) 864-1786 or Rick (916) 284-4822.
