Small Groups
Why Small Groups Are Part Of Our Community
The New Testament calls Christians to a commitment, to live an open transparent life together on purpose. As we live life in community with other believers this is where true "church" happens. Things that might happen at a weekly small group time would be...
-
Worship - a time of celebrating and praising God for what He has done, is doing and will do.
-
Fellowship - a time of connecting with others in the group possibly over coffee and a snack.
-
Sharing - a time of proclaiming what God has done and is doing in our lives.
-
Intercession - a time of approaching the throne of God with petitions and standing in the gap for people in our lives.
-
Learning - a time of digging into the Word of God to hear what he has to say to us. (using the Bible, books, video studies)
-
Healing - a time of ministry to each other where we are set free of anything that may keep us from going deeper with God.
-
Serving - a time of helping each other or people who may not be a part of the group. This is a practical way of sharing Gods love with each other and others.
-
Fun - a time of laughing together and enjoying life by playing games, having outings and sometimes just hanging out together.
