Married

For our Married adults, we like to focus on Small Groups.

Whatever the missions of the church are, they are best accomplished in small groups.

  • Small groups are how we practically and tangibly flesh out our mission.

  1.  Evangelism best takes place within the context of small groups. 
    > We preach and teach the Great Commission, but how do we practically and tangibly go about doing this?  Through our individual Small group classes!

  2. Discipleship best takes place within the context of small groups.
    > How do we practically and tangibly go about discipling others?  Through our individual Small group classes!

  5. Relationships best take place within the context of small groups.

  6. Our Acts 1:8 strategy best takes place within the context of small groups.
    > How do we practically and tangibly go about spreading the gospel to Jerusalem< Judea and Samaria, and uttermost part of the earth?  Through our individual Small group classes and their Strategic Mission Partnerships (SMP).
