What We BelieveWe believe in the small groups application to ministry, because, we feel that in these type of settings, they can assist you to grow in a closer walk with God, with your church family, be an active participant in ministry, become like Christ, be an effective witness for Our Lord and live a surrendered life to God. We believe in; (FELLOWSHIP) CONNECTING WITH GOD'S FAMILY. The foundation for spiritual growth is an intimate connection with God and his family. You need to get to know the members of your church family. We believe that being in a small group will help you to feel a sense of belonging. (DISCIPLESHIP) GROWING TO BE LIKE CHRIST. Each week you'll study one or two core passages from the Bible. The focus will be on how the truths from God's Word make a difference in your lives. We will often provide an experiential exercise to enable you not just to talk about the truth but also to experience it in a practical way. (MINISTRY) DEVELOPING YOUR SHAPE TO SERVE OTHERS. Most people want to know how God has uniquely shaped them for ministry and where they can serve in the center of his will. This part of our church life will help make that desire a reality. Every week you will be encouraged to take practical steps in developing who God uniquely made you to be in order to serve him and others better. (EVANGELISM) SHARING YOUR LIFE MISSION EVERY DAY. Many people skip over this aspect of the Christian life because it's scary, relationally awkward, or simply too much work for their busy schedules. We understand, because we have these thoughts as well. But God calls all of us to reach out a hand to people who don't know him. It's much easier to take practical, manageable steps that can be integrated naturally into everyday life if you take them together. Every week or so you will have an opportunity to take a small step. (WORSHIP) SURRENDERING YOUR LIFE FOR GOD'S PLEASURE. Worship starts at home in our daily prayer life and quiet time in Bible study. A surrendered heart is what pleases God most. Each small group session will give you a chance to surrender your heart to God and one another in prayer. You'll be introduced to several forms of small group worship, including listening to worship CDs, singing together, reading psalms, and participating in Communion. These small groups meeting will transform your life in ways you never thought possible. If you're new to praying in a small group, you won't be pressed to pray aloud until you feel ready.
