A Trinity Small Group is a caring and intentional gathering of individuals committed to meet regularly for the purpose of growing as disciples of Jesus Christ and in Christ-like relationship with each other. Small Groups serve as an additional opportunity for Bible study and topical studies beyond Sunday morning offerings.
Why Join A Small Group
Register for a Small Group by calling 210-738-7740 or emailing Kathy at krice@trinitybaptist.org.
We offer approximately 24 short-term small groups each year. Each group meets weekly for 8-12 consecutive weeks.
Adult small groups are a great place to connect. While on earth, Jesus asked his followers to “Love each other, just as I have loved you” (John 13:34). That same challenge applies to those of us that want to follow Him today. Relationship is at the heart of our faith. As part of a Bible Study group we can know others and be known by others; we can pray for others and be prayed for; we can encourage others and be encouraged. If you have not already done so, we hope you will connect with a small group of friends with whom you will grow in God’s love. New groups are offered three “semesters” a year.

(a Kay Arthur study for men and women) | Led by Fredda Gill

Digging into Ecclesiastes, readers will wrestle with life’s apparent inconsistencies and futility and find clear pointers to the ultimate meaning of life. Exploring the Song of Solomon, they will determine whether the message pertains mainly to the physical and emotional bonds of marriage, to Israel’s relationship to God, to the church’s relationship to Jesus, or to the individual believer’s relationship to Christ. In Lamentations, readers will see the avoidable tragedies caused by sin and the never-ending covenant love of God.
