A Small Group can be a place for a non-Christian to investigate Christianity. Often the Church is intimidating, yet coming to your home is a comfortable environment where questions and interests can be addressed. Other Christians in the Group can add to the discussion.

A Small Group is a place to discover how God has gifted you and what talents you have been endowed with to build up the Body of Believ ers in your Church. God has prepared work for us in advance to encourage His Church (Ephesians 2:10) and we can discover this in a Small Group. Where is God already working?… we can partner with Him.

A Small Group is the place to worship and praise God on a smaller and more personal level. This could include prayer, praise, thanksgiving… all leading us to be more like Christ.

This Fall there will be many Small Groups starting up again. We will be offering a variety of topics and studies that are designed to grow you in your Faith and lead you continually in the Way of God. Look for details in August and September.

Exactly what is a Small Group and why do we talk about them so much?

A Small Group is a place to connect with the Church family. Sunday mornings are usually hectic and busy; there is not enough time, nor is there a quiet place, for important and meaningful conversations. This is the place we care for each other. Life is a busy place and it can be rough and tough, yet we long to have personal relationships.

Meeting together once a week or every other week provides that time apart from the stresses and pressures of our world. Here we can encourage and be encouraged with a good Word from God and from our friends.

A Small Group is a place to study the Bible and discover God in others writings. This is the time to discuss our questions and our doubts, our insights and confusions, as well as to listen to others, as we all grow in our Faith. This is the time to share who God is to us and how He is working in our lives. We are able to encourage one another.

A Small Group is the place to pray for each other. God has given us this communication tool so we can know God better. We can encourage others in the Group as we pray alongside them. Sometimes we can not even bring our struggles to God, we can not even talk to God, though members of our Small Group can do that for us.

A Small Group is a place to be supported and support others in times of stress. Sharing our lives with others is beneficial: we can tell how God has comforted us, and others can encourage us with their own encounters with a faithful God. We can learn from others that God is trustworthy … in all situations.
