Mini Churches

The single most important way to become — and remain — a vitally-connected, growing part of our church is to join a mini church. These small groups of 8-18 adults are designed to help individuals develop a deeper relationship with Jesus and other believers, to grow in an understanding of the Bible, and to impact others for Christ.

Mini churches generally meet in members’ homes or in some other relaxed setting where group members study the Bible, pray together, care for one another, and help each other navigate the ups and downs of life. Each group has the freedom to determine its members needs, so each group looks a little different in terms of meeting dates and times, study topics, and meeting style. All groups, however, maintain a mutual commitment to authentic community. Truly knowing others — while allowing others to truly know us — is the single best way to grow to be the people God desires for us to be. Learning to embrace, love, forgive, and relate to other imperfect Christians equips us to do the same things in our lives outside of the church.

Here are some specific things a mini church can do for you:

• Keep you plugged in to the heartbeat of the church
• Develop relationships that support and encourage your spiritual growth
• Create a growing sense of community
• Help you explore God’s truth and how it applies to your life
• Discover your gifts and how to implement them through serving our church body
• Develop your leadership abilities with the possibility of growing into a future group leader
• Offer prayer support for group members, the church family, and the body of Christ
