“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
— Acts 2:42 (ESV)
At Triad Baptist Church, we are excited to introduce CIRCLES—the new name for our Sunday School and small group communities. The name reflects more than just a new identity; it captures the heart of who we are and what we believe spiritual community should be.
The circle is a powerful visual and spiritual symbol. Found throughout our church’s interior design and digital media, it represents eternal life, wholeness, protection, and spiritual growth. These values shape the foundation of TBC Circles—a place for community, connection, and continuity.
Sunday CIRCLES
No sign-ups are required! Feel free to visit a group and “join” whenever you’re ready. Group sizes vary depending on the class.
Weekday CIRCLES
Weekday CIRCLES are our version of small groups (formerly called Connect Groups). To visit or join a group, contact Pastor Jason—he’ll help you find the best fit.
Because these groups are smaller, there are size limits based on the group style and meeting location. Weekday CIRCLES range from Bible and book studies to athletic hangouts, offering something for everyone.

CIRCLES: Where faith and community come full circle.
A Circles group is a gathering of people who meet regularly—usually weekly—for community, spiritual growth, and accountability. It’s more than just a class or meeting. It’s a place where you can belong, be known, and become more like Christ alongside others walking a similar journey.
In a Circles group, you’ll:
· Build relationships that go beyond Sunday morning.
· Study God’s Word together and apply it to real life.
· Pray with and for one another, sharing both joys and struggles.
· Encourage spiritual growth through honest conversation and mutual accountability.
The early church modeled this kind of fellowship and discipleship:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
— Acts 2:42
We believe that life change happens best in the context of relationships, where believers “spur one another on to love and good works” (Hebrews 10:24).
Circles are where that happens—smaller spaces within the larger church where faith grows deeper, friendships grow stronger, and lives are transformed by Jesus Christ.
CIRCLES: Because discipleship is not a solo journey.
Because you weren’t meant to do life alone—and you don’t have to.
A Circles group is where a big church becomes small, where strangers become friends, and where real growth begins. It's where faith comes alive through authentic community, intentional study, and Christ-centered encouragement.
Here’s what you’ll experience when you join a Circles group:
· Belonging – Find your place in a group of people who genuinely care about you.
· Growth – Deepen your walk with Christ through Scripture, prayer, and spiritual conversations.
· Accountability – Be supported and challenged in your faith by others who want the best for you.
· Purpose – Discover how your gifts and story matter in the body of Christ.
· Support – Navigate life’s highs and lows with people who will walk beside you.
“Two are better than one... If either of them falls, one can help the other up.”
— Ecclesiastes 4:9–10
“Encourage one another and build one another up...”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Joining a Circles group means more than attending a class—it means becoming part of a community that helps you live out your faith every day.
CIRCLES: Find your place. Build your circle.
How Do You Find the Best Circles Group for You?
At Triad Baptist Church, we want everyone to find a Circles group where they can grow in faith and build meaningful relationships. Choosing a group may depend on your age, life stage, or interests—but it doesn’t have to. What matters most is finding a group where you feel spiritually encouraged and personally connected.
Here’s what you should know:
· Explore freely. You’re welcome to visit a few groups before committing. Take your time to find the right fit.
· Groups can change. It’s okay to switch groups if your season of life changes or if you feel led in a different direction.
· Give it time. Once you’ve chosen a group, we recommend sticking with it for at least one year. Real community takes time—and commitment allows space for trust and growth to develop.
Our team is happy to help you explore options and answer any questions. Whether you're brand new to small groups or just looking for a fresh start, there’s a Circle for you.
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together... but encouraging one another...”
— Hebrews 10:24–25
CIRCLES BRAND: Finding Identity
The circle is a powerful visual and spiritual symbol. Found throughout our church’s interior design and digital media, it represents eternal life, wholeness, protection, and spiritual growth. These values form the foundation of TBC Circles—a place for community, connection, and continuity.
Because Circles is plural, our logo features multiple interconnecting circles emerging from the trunk of a tree—symbolizing community—rooted in growth and endurance. Though the path may include some splits and splinters, the core remains solid and deeply rooted. This visual unites the name with the spirit of community it represents.
