F.A.Q.s

• Who should sign up for FORMED?

  If you’re ready to take a step toward community, FORMED is for you.

  Whether you’re brand new to faith, have followed Jesus for years, or you’re just exploring what that looks like, you’ll find a place here. We believe real growth happens in community and FORMED is a great place to begin.

• How often is FORMED offer?
  FORMED runs twice a year — once in the Spring and once in the Fall.
• What if I can’t make every week?

  FORMED is most impactful when you’re able to be there consistently. 

  If you know you’ll miss more than two weeks, we’d encourage you to wait for the next session so you can get the full experience.

• Who will be in my FORMED group?

  Groups are made up of 10-15 people and are formed based on availability, season of life, and preference you share during registration.

  You can choose a men’s group, women’s group, or a mixed group. Most groups are multi-generational, which we’ve found creates a rich and meaningful experience.

  You’re welcome to request friends to be a part of your group, and while we can’t guarantee every request, we’ll do our best to make it happen.

• Is there a cost?

  Yes, the cost is $35 for the 10-week experience. This includes course materials, snacks, and a celebration dinner.

  We never want cost to be a barrier, so scholarships are available if needed.

• When is the deadline to sign up?
  Registration closes one week before groups begin so we can thoughtfully place everyone into groups.
• When and where do groups meet?
  FORMED groups meet on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm at Mountaintop Church. Childcare is available with registration, mountaintopchurch.com/childcare.
• Will childcare be provided?
  Yes! Childcare is available with advance sign-up so we can plan our team. We’ll provide pizza for the kids, and we ask for $5 per child to help cover the cost. Register here: mountaintopchurch.com/childcare.
• Can I be in a group with a friend?

  Absolutely. We love when people go through FORMED together.

  Just include your request in the comments section when you register, and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

• How many people are in a group?
  Each group includes about 10-15 people.
• How can I get connected while I wait?

  If the next FORMED session hasn’t started yet, joining a Serve Team is a great next step.

  It’s one of the easiest ways to meet people, build relationships, and start feeling at home at Mountaintop.

• I’m already in a small group, can we do FORMED together?

  Yes, you can!

  Your group will need to participate during an official FORMED session and be led by a FORMED facilitator so you can experience both the small group and large group elements.

• What happens after FORMED?

  At the end of the 10 weeks, your group will decide whether to keep meeting.

  Most groups choose to continue, but there’s no pressure. Our goal is simply to help you take a next step into meaningful community.

• What’s the difference between FORMED and small groups?
  FORMED is the starting point. It’s designed to help you build relationships and form a group that can continue meeting beyond the 10 weeks.
• What if registration is closed?
  No worries — another session is right around the corner. FORMED happens twice a year, so you’ll have another opportunity soon.
