A place to “Connect & Belong”

We’re thrilled to invite you to participate in Countryside’s small group initiative: The Village at Countryside. Inspired by the strength, unity and deep connection found in village life, this program is designed to foster belonging, build relationships and create a community where we grow in faith and life together. If you are interested in joining a house, please click here to see a list of available houses to join.

Just like a traditional village where everyone plays an essential role—whether as a storyteller, healer, elder or builder—each of our small groups will be a place of connection, where we come together to support and uplift one another.

For fun(!), we’ve named each small group after a “village house” to reflect the sense of belonging and purpose that develops when you’re part of a close-knit community. That’s right, Village Houses are synonymous with small groups. So, not to worry if you are assigned to the Storyteller’s House, you don’t need to be a great storyteller! 

Two of our houses will be dedicated to parents/caregivers of children & youth so, if you are a parent/caregiver of children or youth and would like to join a parent/caregiver Village House, please indicate that in your registration. Here are some of the fun Village Houses:  

Weaver’s House
Potter’s House
Storytellers’ House
Magic & Music House (for families with 0-6th graders)
Maker House (for families with 0-6th graders)
Meeting House
Greenhouse
Elder’s House

Each group will gather regularly, embracing the spirit of The Village by sharing resources, knowledge and support. Through traditions, intergenerational interactions and a strong commitment to community, you’ll find a space to grow spiritually, connect deeply with others and become part of something truly meaningful.

We look forward to seeing you in The Village!

Along with the Village Houses, Pastor Jenny’s as a weekly podcast, It Takes A Village!
