GET CONNECTED with our CHURCH FAMILY … responding to human need

Join a Small Group!  

Are you looking to find a way to deepen your connection to Jesus Christ through the church community? Joining a small group is a great way to do just that. Members of small groups study God’s Word, share about how that Word impacts daily living, they pray together and they serve the greater community together. You don’t have to know how to do any of these things in order to participate in a small group. Your presence would enrich any small group.

There are openings in groups for the fall. There is the possibility of starting a new group with interested folks for the fall. Might this be the exact thing your life needs right now? Find out how you can dip your toe in. Contact Jim Tenney  and we will get you connected in a way that offers relief for the soul.  Or complete the form at the bottom of this page.

What is a ChristCare Group?

A ChristCare Group is a gathering of about 4-12 people that meets regularly for an agreed upon season of time to deepen fellowship with one another and with Jesus Christ. When ChristCare groups meet, they participate in:

  • mutual care and encouragement
  • relating the Bible to daily life
  • prayer and worship, and
  • service and outreach to others.

A trained leader who receives ongoing support for this ministry leads the ChristCare Group. The group decides together the focus of its Biblical study and the nature of its service or outreach.

ChristCare Groups Build Community

In a world where people often feel isolated, there is a strong need to have a place where you are known, where you have family. In ChristCare Groups, people develop trust, love, and acceptance, and are able to share joys and struggles. New members find a place to connect, and longtime members find a place for continued growth. And remember that much of Jesus’ most significant ministry took place with the small group he formed at the beginning of his ministry — the twelve disciples.
