Signing up for one of our small groups is a great way to make some friendly connections with your fellow UCG’ers while enhancing your life through one of our amazing offerings. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity through our church community.

For our Spring offerings, we will be utilizing the ShelbyNext platform for all our sign-ups and ongoing communications. We find it to be an intuitive and helpful way to communicate and remain organized, and we hope that you will too! As with all things new, there is a learning curve, but we will do everything we can to make it as easy as possible for you.

If you haven’t yet done so, please familiarize yourself with our ShelbyNext System. Click here for a slideshow on how to access ShelbyNext and the church directory. If you need assistance getting your login credentials, please contact the front office.  

Now, simply click here for a slideshow on how to register for small groups.

Our Small Groups registration has officially started. Once you have signed into ShelbyNext, go to the left side of your screen and click the Groups tab.

Now this is where you need to pay attention! Click the “Finder” tab, then ​under the Find a Group section, look for the drop-down menu titled Any Type. Select “Small Groups” from the drop-down menu, and you’re in!

Now you can navigate through our small group offerings, click “JOIN” on the ones you’d like to join, and you’re good to go! Look for the group descriptions and note some groups may have participant size limitations.

This will make all of our internal communications much more consistent, it will enable your group leaders to keep track of who is in their groups and allow them to communicate with you directly, and it will enable us to track participants and attendance! We really appreciate your patience in this transition, and as always, if there are any questions, please call the church office at 352-378-3500.

Also, Shanna will be available on a live Zoom meeting next Monday, February 8 from 11:00am – 1:00pm to help with any ShelbyNext questions you may have. Join Zoom meeting here. Meeting ID; 212 046 6883  Passcode; 1624. 

Deadline to register for Small Groups is Sunday, February 21.

Enjoy your small groups! Thank you for your participation.
