The goals of Community Growth
Groups:
Community Growth Groups help us to experience extraordinary living
through:
- Fellowship
- Discipleship
- Ministry opportunities
- Evangelism
- Breaking of bread
- Raising up of leaders
These activities will simply be the natural by-products of the
Community Growth Groups.
Fellowship: A group of 10 to 14 people being set
apart together by meeting in a home will naturally enjoy closer
and more meaningful fellowship than they do just chatting briefly
after church on Sunday
Discipleship: With group questions and the Bible
as the basis of study, people will be continually challenged to
grow spiritually.
Ministry opportunities: These will abound in the
small group environment. They include hosting a group, leading
a group, helping to organize, to inviting new people in. Out
of the needs of the group, practical ministry opportunities will
arise naturally. There will also be a time for the whole group to
serve at the church once a semester on a project.
Evangelism: Spreading the Word is the responsibility
of every follower of Jesus. Community Growth Groups will provide
a non-threatening environment where family and friends can be invited
to join in teaching and discussion about Jesus, no matter what their
background; and can enjoy a time of community with others. We want
to make these groups welcoming to all and provide an atmosphere
of warmth where inviting others is a natural and sought-after outcome.
Breaking of bread: What better way to grow closer
and tear down walls than to share simple food and drink together?
Whether it is coffee and dessert or simple snacks and appetizers,
when people eat and drink together, a natural bond occurs and fellowship
is deepened.
