You can learn more here with our role description.

Fill out the form above. Even if you haven’t solidified your topic, location, or co-leader, let us know your intention, and we can help with the rest. 

Our yearly Small Group calendar is as follows:

Feb-April (About 12-13 weeks)

June-July (8 weeks)

Oct-Dec (10 weeks)

We love your heart in wanting to serve God’s kingdom where that is! All Kalos small group leaders are required to attend Sunday morning service(s) and call Kalos their home church.

We understand some schedules may not make it feasible for a weekly group, but we firmly believe meeting once a week encourages commitment & consistency, which deepens relationships in a significant way. Since our seasons are only 7-13 weeks long, the less frequent you meet, the more disconnect they will be & feel. At this time, we are only offering weekly groups.

One of our leaders will reach out to you to go over your group details. In the meantime, please do the following:

1. Attend our leader training. Food, beverages, & childcare will be provided. Please let leadership know if you (and your kids, if applicable) will be there so we can plan accordingly. To minimize distractions, we ask all parents check their kids into our childcare.

2. For spring & summer seasons: think & pray about who to co-lead with and reach out to them to see if they’re willing. Depending on the topic of the group, we may need to be part of that process.
   For fall seasons, we will pair you up with a coleader.

3. For spring & summer seasons: determine what the group will be about. Books/curriculum/content MUST be approved before you can move forward. Once one of our leaders reaches out, send them the link to the resources/material. They will let you know if/when it’s approved.
   For fall seasons: every group will go through the same curriculum, which is decided by Kalos leadership. We will provide all the supporting materials & resources.

4. Plan the logistics of your group (with your co-leader/host, if applicable), such as location, time, & overview of what each night will look like. If you need help with a location, our leadership team will work with you with options.

In the fall season we all do the same topic as an entire church.  The other (winter & summer) seasons, we have what we call “free market” groups. You can choose whatever interests you, whether that be an activity (cooking, soccer, golf, dance, art) or topic (Bible study, finance, photography).

Kalos Church has a subscription to Right Now Media where you can find many options for study groups, discussions, etc. and all are complete with video lessons and often a participant/leader guide to help you. Visit https://app.rightnowmedia.org/join/kalos to join our subscription & browse the library. All topics need to cover the entire season’s time frame.

All topics/content/material need to be submitted for leadership approval before you can start planning for your group. 

Fill out the form above! When one of our leaders reached out, let them know you don’t have a location. We will do our best to match you with someone willing to host your group. At this time, we are not able to have groups meet at our church building.

Whatever day/time works for you! However, we ask groups do not meet until after 2pm on Sundays or during Kalos Night/Unveil.

While not technically required, it is HIGHLY encouraged. Co-leaders are very important to the success of a group. Shepherding people is not easy task. That’s why co-leaders are crucial. You have a partner to carry the spiritual load of the group, pray for your members, & coordinate scheduling/logistics. Should you become ill or need to travel, it ensures group can continue meeting.

Here at Kalos we embrace every story and strive to have an inclusive community for all. For the safety of Kalos as a whole, we require a background check of all volunteers on the Serve Team. We follow the guidelines and regulations of Bellevue School District. If there is an alert on your background check, our Executive Director will reach out to hear your story and to determine the best area to serve. An alert does not automatically disqualify you from serving, but might limit you to which area of our church you are able to serve. The safety of our team and guests is a top priority at Kalos Church.

Small Group leaders act as shepherds to our congregation– an extension of Pastors Pradeepan and Amreitha Jeeva, as they walk through struggles, deconstruction of faith, moments of celebration, life changes, and so much more with members of our church. Carrying the weight of this requires a standard we want to uphold.
