Small Groups

Small groups are an excellent way to connect with other believers and to grow spiritually.  Sunday services are great for community worship and teaching, but life changes happen in small groups, in which one can make friends for life. Often, a small group becomes a strong circle of friends that will pray with you, laugh with you, cry with you, grow with you, and hold you accountable to a life of devotion to Jesus Christ.

"Whenever two or three of you come together in my name, I am there with you" (Matthew 18:20). In other words, the basic building block of the church is the small group in which the members are committed to one another in Christ. Many tend to think of the small group as being a part of the church. The New Testament does not make this distinction. It is the church.

What is a Small Group

• A group that continues to reach, grow, and multiply (Matt. 28:19-20)

• A group where community and fellowship take place (Matt. 22:37,39)

• A group that focuses on learning the word to live it (2Peter 3:18 or Jam 1:22)

• A group where prayer and ministry takes place (Gal. 6:10)

• A group where people learn to use their gifts (Ecc. 11:4)
