What is a Small Group?
Small groups are intentional groups of people who meet regularly to support and encourage growth in their faith journey. These gatherings of 6 -12 people provide the ideal format for fulfilling the biblical “one anothers” - love one another, pray for one another, bear one another’s burden. This kind of ministry is not done nearly as effectively in a large group setting, as in a small group setting. We see the small group ministry as vital to the health of individual believers and the church as a whole.
When and Where Do Small Groups Meet?
They gather once or twice a month for friendship, support, prayer, Bible study, and service. Ordinarily, small groups meet in the homes of our members on various nights of the week. Call the church office for more information on current group offerings.
Small Groups are a priority at DCF because they...
- Stimulate Spiritual Growth
- Provide Support and Encouragement
- Decentralize Care-Giving within the Church
- Remind Us that Church is People, Not a Building
- Supply a Regular Forum for Prayer
- Assimilate Newcomers into the Body Life of the Church
