fellowship group

Believers meeting regularly

A fellowship group is a small gathering, typically religious, where members meet regularly for spiritual discussion, prayer, and mutual support.

Churches organize fellowship groups to build community among congregants: We joined a fellowship group at our new church.

The term appears mainly in Christian contexts, though similar gatherings exist across faiths.
