God's Family - One Small Group at a Time.


Ready to connect with other adults, develop friendships, and have fun in a highly interactive, relaxed setting? Join other adults to talk about life, work, relationships and what really matters in your spiritual development. Is joining a Home-Based Small Group the next "best step" for you? A Home-Based Small Group is just one of your many choices, but certainly a unique choice.

In its simplest form, a Home-Based Small Group is defined as a "Christian Fellowship and Study Group" composed of about 8 to 14 people who provide love, support, friendship, connection and spiritual strength for one another and usually takes place in a home setting. The format is an informal and comfortable 1½-2 hour gathering at the home of a Host or several different hosts for six weeks study usually with light hors d'euvres. The last week is celebrated with a dinner for the group. The meeting may move to a monthly format after a six week special study or Lenten study. A home based small group is a subset of the church body that meets on their schedule and communicates with the church's Small Group Community Leader.

Small groups create an authentic environment where group members learn to know God with their heads, love God with their hearts, and serve God with their hands while experiencing a very close Christian fellowship and accountability with and for each other.
