Florida Calvary Chapel churches lead the nation with 58 verified congregations, and small groups are a key part of the fellowship structure. With 388 eastern US churches now in the dataset, small group ministry extends beyond Florida to the 20-state network.

The warm climate enables outdoor gatherings and seasonal events.
