Small Groups

Why Small Groups
Do you realize that Jesus spent most of His time and effort with a samll group of a dozen men? Since He thought small groups were important, we do too. At Hope Church, we specialize in Small Groups that:
1. Carry you through stormy times. All of us have hard places in life. Friends in a small group support you when you can't see a way through and lift you up whennever you fall. Small group leaders are genuinely interested in their group and care for the partcipants in the stormy seasons
2. Keep you balanced and on course. A healthy mix of the Bible, prayer and positive relationships in a small group keeps you on an even keel. A small group keeps you moving in the right direction and sharpens your sense of purpose and mission in life. Your small group leader is committed to help you maintain your spiritual stability and health.
3. Help you continue to grow spiritually. Followers of Jesus are to become like Him. A small group causes it to happen most naturally. Hope CHurch small group leaders are intentional about helping their group members grow to be all they can be in Christian experience and way of life.
4. Identify and bring out the best in you. It is in a small group that we become aware of and defelop our spiritual gifts.
