These groups meet on the first and third weeks of the month, either in leaders’ homes or at the church. They are open to anyone and everyone to join at anytime. You don’t need to know anything, bring anything, or prepare anything.

What happens in a "discipleship group"?

The content of a discipleship group gathering is three-fold:

1. To share our lives with others, giving and receiving support and care
2. To study the Scriptures, reflecting how we might relate our faith to our everyday lives
3. To uphold one another in prayer

Small Groups are led by committed, trained and accountable Small Group Leaders. These are laypersons who have received specialized training and who feel called to care for other people in small groups.

Training
Small Group Leaders have received two years of training in the following disciplines:

• Bible and theological reflection
• Leadership skills
• Small group theory and practice
• Christian discipleship
• Human relationships, including family systems and conflict resolution
• Enneagram personality testing
• Gifts discernment

Accountability
Small Group Leaders commit to monthly meetings where they receive supervision both from their peers, and from the Minister. At monthly meetings Small Group Leaders:

• care for and support one by "checking in" as to how they're doing
• receive support, care and help from the Minister
• pray together for one another, and the congregation
• hand in a monthly report to the Minister about the health of their group
• study the Scripture readings for the upcoming month, so as to be fully prepared for possible questions that might arise

We have several small groups to choose from. They gather at the following times and places.
