Everyone needs a place to belong—a community where they can grow spiritually through God's Word. At Bethany Church, we believe life-changing connections happen in Bgroups centered around reading the Bible together, and this fall is your perfect opportunity to get connected.
Bgroups are gathering across South Louisiana to engage with Scripture using the M'cheyne reading plan, which we call "Read 15." This simple approach invites you to spend just 15 minutes daily in God's Word alongside others who are on the same journey. Whether you're new to Bethany or have been with us for years, there's a group designed for your season of life.
Bgroups launch Sunday, August 24th, 2025.

What does a Bgroup look like?
Bgroups are small gatherings of people going through life with one another. Relatable activities tend to bring people together. Whether it is men fishing, moms chasing their kiddos at the park, or young adults catching up over a cup of coffee, there is a place for everyone. Each time your Bgroup meets, you will cultivate friendships and experience life-giving conversation. The typical one-hour format makes it easy for anyone to participate.
How often does a Bgroup meet?
Bgroups meet for two semesters a year—Spring and Fall. Most Bgroups meet once a week; however, there are people in various phases of life, so there are groups that meet biweekly or even monthly. The goal is to add meaningful community to your everyday rhythm. Even if you cannot attend every meeting, joining a group adds tremendous value to your life.
Where do Bgroups meet?
Bgroups meet anywhere people can gather, such as homes, parks, coffee shops, gyms, and office buildings. Bgroups are available in any city where a Bethany Church campus is located.
How long does a typical Bgroup stay together?
Most Bgroups meet for a semester. This method allows you to join a group with ease. You can also try a different group each semester, if you choose to do so. Some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.
Is child care available?
Child care varies with each group. When you search our directory, the group profile will indicate whether child care is available.
What if I don’t like the first group I try?
The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. We encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders, and try out a couple of groups before choosing the right one. We believe there is a group where everyone can belong—including you!
