Growth Groups PDF Print E-mail
Growth Groups form in the fall, meet in individual homes in the Bay Area for prayer, Bible Study and mutual encouragement!

Growth Groups move us along in our Christian lives by helping us:
Apply scriptural truth.
Build Church unity and maturity.
Care for each others needs (spiritual, emotional and physical).
Do the great commission, by encouraging us to share the incredible message that we are experiencing.

Price:
The Growth Group goals are not achieved without cost and commitment on the part of each member. Individuals will be encouraged to attend 75% of the meetings with a goal of 100%. You will be asked to spend time each week studying your lesson and also asked to be involved in the lives of other group members. This will mean some transparency and trust on your part as well. High cost? It is if you don't add up the Profits!

Profit:
You will EXPLORE what it means to be a Christian. You will GROW in personal maturity, integrity and in your knowledge of Jesus Christ. You will BELONG to a smaller family who care about you and you will see God's work in people who may be quite different than you. You will also have new opportunities to love when you SERVE one another.

Process:
We will be spending time with:
    * God in Prayer
    * Reading and studying the Bible
    * Other Christians (who will motivate, encourage and hold you accountable)
    * Witnessing (taking the initiative to share your faith)


Small Groups and prayer are the heartbeat of a healthy church!
