Get Connected with Life Groups

The best discipleship is group discipleship. Jesus practiced it, spending much of His time with three to twelve of his disciples. People who are developed in the context of a small group experience benefit from the wisdom and discernment of many group members, are able to use their gifts in a safe and encouraging setting, can have needs met and prayed for by several brothers and sisters in Christ, and can be encouraged toward team ministry. Thus we “bear one another’s burdens” and engage in mutual ministry in the body of Christ.
