Our small group meeting ended about 30 minutes ago, but our group just left the house about 5 minutes ago. Our group has been meeting for about 2 years, during that time we have studied books by John Ortberg, Bob Russell and of course a Bible Study or two. What makes our group so unique is the variety of people who make up our group.
When we started 2 years ago, I thought this group of people has very little in common, but like most small groups, time has a way of building relationships and fostering genuine community.
For PBCC small groups is not simply a program we offer, it is an essential building block of our church for spiritual growth and genuine community.
Four years ago our leaders decided to become very intentional about small groups. One of our leaders has been instrumental in keeping our groups going by training leaders and plugging people into a group. Currently we have 14 groups meeting in our small groups ministry. Each group has a different study. Some study books of the Bible others study Christian authors, such as Lucado, Ortberg, etc.This individuality allows us to meet a variety of needs and gives us many avenues to grow spiritually.
We have a slogan for our small groups - a place where no one walks alone. Our goal is for our church to experience the fellowship and spiritual growth that comes from genuine community of a small group. If you are not involved in a small group, please let me know, I would love to help you connect with our small group ministry.
