Small Group Ministry

Fundamentally the church is a fabric of relationships. Jesus gives a clear command to love each other (John 13:34, 35), with His love for us being the standard.

Throughout the New Testament there are specific suggestions about church relationships. Congregations are to care for each other and give attention to the needs of each other: (I Corinthians 12:25; Philippians 2:4), defer to one another (Ephesians 5:21), bear each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), teach and admonish each other (Colossians 3:16, 17), encourage and build up one another (I Thessalonians 5:11), confess and pray together (James 5:16), and love each other (I John 3:22, 23; 4:4, 11).

To be a Christian is to join a body whose head is Jesus Christ.

Since building relationships is a primary function of the church, it must provide settings and structures that give opportunities for this to happen. Experience has demonstrated that the small group is one of the best vehicles for the church to become what God intends it to be—a people sharing Christ, meeting each other’s needs and reaching out in love to the world.
