Churches use all sorts of names for small groups—life groups, growth groups, home groups, cell groups. They also use various models, numerous strategies for connection, various plans for assimilation, and church-specific vision and goals for their group ministries. Yet all would agree that small groups are a means to an end, not an end in and of themselves. Small groups exist as a way for people to engage in biblical community that helps them become more like Jesus in every area of their lives. We are looking to get small groups started in our church and they help to not only bring a community of believers closer together, but it also helps to being our community closer to God.
As we engage in life together through teaching, fellowship, communion, prayer, miracles, radical generosity, and corporate worship. We spend time learning, celebrating, proclaiming the Good News, and supporting each other. Small groups are a way of living out our purpose, both as individuals and as a collective group of believers—to be the church. We share a common foundation of faith and God has called us to live out the implications of that faith in a relational community, in the context that we call a small group.
Below, is a list of books and videos that are available for study. They cover various topics of everyday life along with Bible based learning and discussions. If you would be looking to start a small group or are in need of materials this would be a good place to start. They are available in the first cabinet just outside the elevator in the lower level.
