English term or phrase: church small group

These are groups now common in the U.S. with churches. Meetings take place regularly at someone's home (thus, often called "church home groups.) Often it's a bible study, but not always. Sometimes there is prayer, a potluck or something else. On a reference letter:

"We have also had the privilege of being a part of a church small group with this couple. Our group of about 20 meets regularly to share Christian fellowship. This couple has led our group and welcomed us in their home on a number of occasions."
