Fellowship is not a spiritually-neutral activity. As we catch up with friends and make new ones, we practice our calling to understand, love, and advise each other.
...Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 1 Thessalonians 5:13-14
Small groups help us develop a greater sense of Christian community in a disconnected age. They facilitate the formation of deeper Christian friendships, encourage greater spiritual accountability among church members, and become a natural opportunity for inviting unbelieving and unchurched (or under-churched) neighbors to interact with the covenant community.
We hope that our groups reflect the kind of closeness that will characterize the life of the redeemed in the age to come.
