why join a small group?
A LIFEgroup provides an environment in which many vital aspects of ministry take place. It is a place where you and the rest of the group is able to minister to each other, as well as, be ministered to. It also allows for active ministry in which all members are encouraged to participate.
a biblical model
"they worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved."
Acts 2:46-47

our approach
Our approach to LIFEgroup is a table-based approach format. A small group of people gather together and base their discussion on the message from the weekend service.
We provide discussion notes based on the last message. Then the group will learn to apply the Scripture and application points in their own lives together.
The reason why we chose a message based LIFEgroup is found in the book of Acts. It records principles that demonstrate the homes were not only the place for transformational times of discipleship, but also a place for personal application in smaller groups after a main message went out. Acts records multiple times where the message went out in a public place or large crowds, then was explained further or applied after the message in a smaller group setting.
