God created each of us to be in relationship, first with Him, then with other believers. In a small groups people have the opportunity to know each other and be known.  Small groups are the primary place for spiritual growth and life changing relationships.   


A small group is a community of people who:

  • Meet together regularly
  • Help one another apply God's truth to daily living
  • Bear one another's burdens (Gal 6:2)
  • Encourage one another (Heb 10:25)
  • Love one another (John 13:34)
  • Serve one another (Gal 5:13)

Small groups meet in homes, at the church, at coffee shops or restaurants, at different times of the day and different days of the week.  Generally, groups are 6 to 14 people as individuals or couples who meet for 1 to 2 hours.  Athough groups vary, the will be a time of fellowship and  prayer, along with a discussion about a book of the Bible or an inspirational book all are reading.  It is a safe environment to ask questions or talk about life's struggles.  A small group is a place to belong, and a place to become a mature follower of Christ.
