Small groups are the heart of Pathways Community Church!
If you are attending church but are not
in a small group you are missing relationships and opportunities to grow that
you can only find there! We
all need authentic community!
Starbucks understands that. One of their sayings is:
“Create Community. Make a difference in
someone’s day.”
Authentic
community is where we connect and build relationships through
which we will grow in Christ. That is why we want everyone
to have the opportunity to experience a life-changing small
group.We want your small group at Pathways to
being an environment where neighbors and friends can
get together and dig into the Bible so that lives can be
changed!”
Plugging into a Small
Group…
- Read - Take
time to read through the list in the Small
Groups Directory or
the church website.
- Pray - Prayerfully
consider which group you feel God would want you to be a part
of. If you have never been in a group, pick something comfortable.
We want this to be a great experience for you.
- Sign Up - To
sign up all you have to do is write the group number on
your Connection Card at the close of a weekend service. Your
new group leader will call you to help you get connected, and
answer any questions you may have.
- Attend - Have
a great time developing your relationships with others in your
group and with Jesus.
