Small Group Ministry Life at First Church

GROUP BREAKDOWN

​Guided by a leader
Regular meeting times
Open God's Word
United in serving
Praying community
Span; oversight by a coach

There are different types of small groups.  The meeting place can be anywhere (it's actually encouraged to meet in homes and businesses).  The size of the group can vary but anything under 40 people is ideal.  

The purpose of the small group: For believers to regularly gather together and be the body of Christ.  In other words: 1) gather 2) form community 3) be the hands and feet of Jesus (this mean's people's spiritual gifts come out and are utilized)

If it doesn't meet the criteria of the GROUP breakdown, it's a club or a clique which is not good for healthy discipleship.
