Small Groups
Stronger Together
Our Mission
A Small Group is an intentional gathering that meets regularly with individuals who agree to be part of each other’s lives by consistently fellowshipping, studying the Bible, and serving together.
Our Mission encourages individuals to actively and engagingly be purposeful about their calling through:
- Fellowshipping: Experience life with others. (Romans 12:10)
- Bible Study: Go deeper in your faith and the Word of God. (Proverbs 27:17)
- Service: Encourage others and bear one another’s burdens. (Galatians 6:2)
And ultimately by becoming a disciple who makes disciples. (Matthew 28:19-20)
