WHY SMALL GROUPS?

Because we were meant for community, and community doesn't happen in one or two hours on a Sunday morning.  Sunday worship gatherings are great for sparking relationships, making introductions, etc., but we are there to worship.  We enjoy the fellowship, but our time is devoted to song, sacrament, communal prayer, and  teaching.  How can we get to know each other, ask questions, dialogue, and build trust?  Small Group gatherings are meant to foster this other aspect of church - Church Beyond Sunday.  Small Group gatherings are times and spaces in which we can encourage each other and call each other to account.  We explore the Scriptures and we explore the journey of the Spirit, and we walk alongside each other as Christ has walked alongside each of us.  Small Groups take turns serving dinner at New Horizons Ministries, and occasionally hit the streets with Union Gospel Mission's Search & Rescue van.
