SMALL GROUPS

YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE BETTER IN A SMALL GROUP

​

If you´ve ever listened to a Bible teacher or preacher and wanted to stop that person and say, “But what about…?” or “I don´t understand,” then a small group is for you! Preaching and teaching is one way communication.

 

You listen while the speaker speaks. It´s fine for imparting knowledge but not as effective for personal application as a small group. In a small group setting, you can ask questions, participate in a discussion of the text, and hear others share insights and illustrations of the truth you are trying to grasp.

 

The Bible must be applied to your own personal situations and that happens best in small groups.

YOU WILL BEGIN TO REALLY FEEL LIKE PART OF GOD´S FAMILY

​

Most people who have been a part of a group say the greatest benefit is the close relationships and friendships that develop.

 

They will frequently telephone each other during the week to share an urgent prayer request or an exciting answer.

 

You´ll discover that your needs and problems are not unique ~ we´re all in the same boat. It helps to know that others are facing the same difficulties, or have lived through them and learned spiritual principles in the process.

PRAYER WILL BECOME MORE MEANINGFUL TO YOU

​

Many people are hesitant to pray in front of others, especially in a large church. In a small group, you will learn to participate in prayer by having a conversation together with God.

 

No one is pressured to pray, but as you become comfortable, you´ll be able to pray and be drawn together and we find answers to the needs in our lives.

YOU WILL DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF WORSHIP

​

Many believers mistakenly believe that worship can only happen on Sunday morning in a large group with a sermon, a choir, and an offering plate! Worship happens anytime we focus on God. Sometimes that happens best in a smaller group in praying or singing together.
