Home Group Sunday
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Home Group Sunday?
Homegroup Sunday is a special Sunday when we don’t meet at The Nordonia High School due to building availability. Instead, we gather in homes across our community to worship, learn, and share a meal together.
2. Why do we do Home Group Sundays?
Two big reasons:
3. How do I find a Home Group to attend?
Most people attend the home group they’re already part of. But anyone can join!
Just text “Home Group Sunday” to 216-236-4472, and we’ll send you the list of participating groups and help you find one nearby.
4. Do I need to RSVP?
Not officially — but it’s strongly encouraged to reach out to the host so they know you’re coming (especially if you’re new). The phone number above will get you connected.
5. What time do groups meet?
Times vary.
Some groups eat breakfast and then watch the service. Others watch first and enjoy lunch afterward.
Almost all groups share a meal in some form. The host will give you the time details.
6. What do we watch on Home Group Sunday?
Each Homegroup Sunday features a pre-recorded service created just for that day.
It includes:
7. Is childcare provided? What about kids?

8. Can I host my own gathering?
Yes! Home Group Sunday is also a great opportunity to invite neighbors, friends, or family to watch the service with you. It’s an easy, low-pressure outreach opportunity.
9. Will we take communion in the homes?
No. Communion is reserved for when we gather together as a full church family.
10. How does giving work on Home Group Sunday?
Giving is not promoted during Home Group Sunday.
If you call The Corners Chapel home, you can still give online as usual or wait until the following Sunday.
11. Is Home Group Sunday the same as a normal home group meeting?
Not exactly. It feels like a home group, but its primary purpose is to replace Sunday service when we are unable to gather at the school. It also provides a great chance to “visit” a home group and meet new people.
12. How long does a Home Group Sunday gathering last?
It differs by group, but most gatherings run 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on meals and conversation.
13. Do Home Group Leaders have any special responsibilities that day?
Primarily hospitality by opening their home, welcoming people, starting the video, and coordinating the meal. Leaders don’t need to prepare a lesson, but they do guide the conversation afterward using the discussion questions provided for that Sunday.
14. What if I’m new to the church?
You’re 100% welcome! Home Group Sunday is one of the best Sundays to jump in because groups are smaller, relational, and easygoing.
Just text 216-236-4472 and we’ll help you find a spot.
15. Will I be expected to join the group long-term?
Not at all. You’re welcome to attend for the day with no pressure.
But if you want to continue with that group afterward, we’d be thrilled to help you make that connection.
