MINISTRY DESCRIPTION

The Small Groups Ministry exists to build relationships among members and guests so that we can together become fully devoted followers of Christ. We seek to create a safe place where genuine fellowship can be developed, personal ministry can occur, and spiritual growth can be nurtured.

Our small groups have an outward focus, reaching out to others and actively inviting them into the group, to help them feel a part of the church and assimilate them into meaningful fellowship. Small groups also have an inward focus, seeking to build relationships of authenticity and trust, and minister to the needs of one another. Also, small groups have an upward focus, spending time in Bible study and prayer to develop a stronger walk with God.

Small groups meet in homes on a weekly basis to participate in relationship building activities, times of praise, discussion-based and application-focused Bible study, sharing our lives together and intercessory prayer.
