Hi Lenadavis17,
The first time you create a group, you will need to select all of the contacts that you want in the group. Then, any time you want to add to the conversation, you can select the group in the Messages app. Here are some resources involving group messages.
Send a group message with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Send messages to a group (iMessage and MMS). Tap
, then enter multiple recipients. With MMS, group messaging must also be turned on in Settings > Messages, and replies are sent only to you—they aren’t copied to the other people in the group.
Give a group a name. While viewing the conversation, tap Details, drag down, then enter the name in the Subject line.
Add someone to a group. While viewing the conversation, tap Details, then tap Add Contact. The person you add doesn’t see messages sent within the group prior to you adding him or her.
Leave a group. Tap Details, then tap Leave this Conversation.
Keep it quiet. Tap Details, then turn on Do Not Disturb to mute notifications for the conversation.
Happy Holidays!
Just an addendum to Judy's excellent advice. You can't create a group contact in Contacts. You also can't name a group if it has any non-iPhone users in it.
