A Small Group is a group of usually 8
to 14 people who meet together on a regular basis, either in homes or at the
church, to study the Bible, discuss how it applies to their
lives, personally connect with each other through fellowship and pray
for one another.
Why
should I be in one?
Biblically, every Christian is a
disciple. A disciple is a learner,  a
follower of Jesus Christ. The Small
Group is our primary means of helping people grow into spiritually maturing
disciples. It’s where we can ask
questions and learn from one another.
It’s where we learn how God’s Word impacts our daily life and how we can
go about making it real and personal.
The Small Group is also where we
develop meaningful, supportive relationships with others. It’s just not possible to develop close
friendships when you only see one another occasionally on Sunday mornings. Relationships take time to develop – they
need regular interaction on a deeper level.
That’s what Small Groups specialize in!
When
and where do they meet?
 Small Groups typically meet
weekly (Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Sundays) from September through
May. Most groups meet in the evenings
from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., but we also offer a group for women that meets on Wednesday
mornings and a group that meets on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. Most groups will have a minimal fee that will
cover the cost of a book or a study guide.
To sign up for a group, please use
the appropriate sign-up sheet during the registration period or call the Small
Group Director, Pastor Ed Fedor, at the church office. He can be reached at 440-442-6470.
