The purpose of small groups is to provide an avenue for discipleship in covenant community.

We hold fast to five overarching values for small groups:

Relationships

 

While prayer, fellowship, and discussion of curriculum are key elements of a Small Group, the driving force is spiritual growth.

Authenticity

 

The atmosphere of a Small Group should encourage openness and transparency among members. This is an environment where people should feel free to be themselves.

Confidentiality

 

For authenticity to occur, member must be able to trust that issues discussed in Small Group are not to be shared outside the group.

Respect

 

Group members should never say anything meant to embarrass or hurt their group members.

Availability

 

A primary responsibility of community is to prioritize for specific relationships. This requires a willingness to be available to meet each other’s needs.
