At Twelfth Avenue Baptist Church we believe the Christian life is best lived in community! Just as Sunday morning corporate worship is vital to our spiritual health and growth, we believe it is crucial to interact regularly with a smaller group of believers. Our small groups are dynamic groups that provide a community of accountability and encouragement as well as spiritual growth.
We provide several opportunities for adults at TABC to connect to a group:
SPRING 2026 GROUPS
CO-ED
Rooted
Sundays, 5:30 - 7:30 pm
Beginning January 11
Rooted isn’t simply a bible study or a book. It is a community experience, where people practice 7 rhythms essential to a healthy relationship with Jesus. Individuals establish firm roots in the Truth of God’s Word through personal study and then come together to discuss what they’re learning in a space where they are safe and known. Read more here.
Financial Peace University
Thursdays, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Beginning January 15
Cost: $70 for participant workbook and one-year membership to Financial Peace University
Money. We can’t get away from the word. It’s in the news and impacting our daily lives. Maybe you feel like you didn’t learn enough growing up to manage your finances well now. Maybe money is so tight you worry you won’t have enough from one month to the next. Maybe you’re just exhausted and feel like no matter what you do, you just can’t get ahead.
Here’s some good news: Whatever your past, whatever your income, wherever you are with money right now—you don’t have to stay there. You can get the knowledge and motivation to make things different. To fight inflation, get rid of your debt, save more money, invest and get margin in your monthly budget so you can breathe again.
Financial Peace University gives you a step-by-step plan based on commonsense principles that actually make sense. It’s all the things you wish someone had sat down and taught you years ago. And thankfully, it isn’t too late to learn it now!
GriefShare
Tuesdays, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Beginning January 13
Cost: $20 for participant workbook
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

Bible Recap
The Bible Recap (TBR) follows a chronological Bible reading plan and is a short daily recap by creator and host, Tara-Leigh Cobble. She’ll highlight and summarize that day’s Bible reading in a casual, easy to understand way. The Bible Recap comes in several forms—book, podcast, or video. Each day’s Bible reading is approximately 12 minutes long and each recap is about 8 minutes long. You can read more at thebiblerecap.com.
If you would be interested in going through The Bible Recap in 2026 and meeting weekly or twice monthly with a small group of people for accountability and discussion, please indicate your interest on the form below. Emily Prouse will facilitate - day of the week TBD depending on participant availability.
Revelation: Unchained
The End of the World as You Know It: What the Bible really says about the End Times (And why it's good news!)
Tuesdays, 9:30 - 11:00 am, restarting January 13
Led by Judy Decker
South Building, rooms 5&6
Books are $15
John's letter to the seven churches was not an undecipherable mystery to its original recipients, but it can sure be befuddling to we modern believers. John's use of phrases and symbols that were very familiar to Christians and Jews (and even to ordinary Roman citizens in some instances), requires a little sleuthing to bring his message into focus in our own time. Crossing the cultural and historical divide using scholarly sources will shed more light on the purpose and message of Revelation. It is a message of perseverance and hope! This study is continued from last semester but new participants are welcome to join!
Motherhood Study - Book TBD
Thursdays, 10:30 am - 12:00 pm, beginning January 15
Led by Erin Blocker
Childcare is available
The Good and Beautiful Community by James Bryan Smith
Thursdays, 6:00 - 7:30 pm, beginning January 15
Led by Staci Sull
Books are $15
Childcare is available
In this Good and Beautiful Series book, James Bryan Smith helps us know how to live in relationship with others as apprentices of Jesus. "Apprentices of Jesus are not part-time do-gooders," he writes. "They live in continuous contact with the kingdom of God, and are constantly men and women in whom Christ dwells. They do not sometimes tell the truth, sometimes live sacrificially or sometimes forgive. There are myriad opportunities for us to impact the world in which we live." Yet many times we've gotten it wrong, tending to emphasize personal faith over social justice or vice versa. In this book, you will learn how to bring spiritual formation and community engagement together, and spiritual practices that root new, true narratives about God and the world in our souls. This study will lead us to live in authentic ways as a good and beautiful community of Christ-followers, shining the light of the Spirit into every relationship.
MEN

Led by Matthew Hastings and Shane Cline
One with My Lord by Sam Allberry
Thursdays, 7:00 - 8:00 am, beginning January 15
Led by Scott Waters
East Building, room 205
Followers of Jesus refer to themselves primarily as “Christians,” but the New Testament frequently used a more meaningful term: “in Christ.” Disconnected from this deeper understanding of the gospel, believers today can miss out on the significance of unity with the Lord and its power to enrich every area of their lives.
In One with My Lord, Sam Allberry examines the doctrine of union with Christ through a rich study of New Testament scriptures. Each chapter is short enough to be read as a devotional, giving believers a fresh lens to view the gospel daily as they pursue holiness, resist sin, build community, and worship God. In a time when people are searching for a place to belong, One with My Lord reminds believers that they have a perfect home in Christ.
