Your Small Group Leader Loves You

Four times per year our small group leaders gather for fellowship, prayer, and training. It's one of the many ways they serve behind the scenes, quietly and without recognition.

Despite all the other things that fill their busy lives, leading us is a priority. They do it because they care about us. They do it because they need it themselves. They do it because it's good.

"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2 ESV)

Please pray for your small group leader. Their ministry is really our ministry. They meet tonight at 6:30pm.

Thank God For Our Small Group Leaders

For God's Glory And Our Joy

We Are United By Jesus' Saving Work

The death of Jesus means life for us, a life that we now live together. We gather in small groups in our neighborhoods to sing, pray, share, and encourage. We do this to become like the Savior who loves us.

These Are Not Normal Meetings

God is at work. He is drawing us together. His Spirit is transforming us and empowering us to minister to one another. Though what we do appears natural, it is decidedly supernatural.

Join In

If you've not yet found a small group, get in touch with us. We want to help you experience and participate in the every-member ministry of Sovereign Grace Church. It's all for God’s glory and our joy.

 

Pray For Your Small Group Leaders

Your Small Group Leaders Love You

Small Groups are the backbone of our community life. They are where everyday discipleship takes place. They are led by volunteers who love us, welcome us, and help us.

Tonight the small group leaders gather with Pastor Dustin for their quarterly training meeting. They’ll pray, discuss, minister to one another, and learn.

Will you pause for a moment and pray that God will use their time together this evening?

Despite all the other things that fill their busy lives, leading us is a priority. They do it because they care about us. They do it because they need it themselves. They do it because it's right.

A New Small Group Is Forming

“…that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.” -1 John 1:3

Your Ministry Keeps Growing

Small Groups are the backbone of our community life. They’re where we live out all the “one anothers” of the New Testament. They’re the place where we know others and are known by others. They’re discipleship hubs.

As previously announced, we’re beginning another small group in Old Towne Orange! Pastor Dustin and his family will host and lead. It’ll be in the evening on 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month beginning September 6th.

Here are a few reasons you may consider joining:

  1. You’ve been wanting to join a group but have not yet jumped in. (Regular attenders and those getting to know the church are welcome to join.)

  2. You weren’t aware that we had small groups and would like to know more about how and why we do them.

  3. You’ve been inconsistent in your current group and need a group that meets on Friday evenings. (Please touch base with your current small group leader first.)

If you’re interested, contact Pastor Dustin for more info.

Why Small Groups?

This Is Your Ministry

Small Groups are not one ministry in the life of our church, they are the ministry. Like breathing, these groups provide oxygen to our relationships with one another. They facilitate discipleship. They provide a context for us to help one another become more like Jesus.

We’ve begun a short series on the question, “Why small groups?” This is the next installment.

Reason 5: New Relationships

Small groups are the perfect place to make new people a part of your life.

Healthy small groups, filled with people experiencing the sweetness of biblical fellowship, have an outward impulse. As much as they love their group, they can’t help but want others to join in on it.

This means sacrifice. It means inviting new people into your group, into your life, and into your heart. Everybody would love to join a group and have that group be the same for the next 30 years. No major changes. Nobody coming and nobody going.

But fellowship that doesn’t overflow to others, isn’t true fellowship. We must avoid becoming ingrown.

Christianity grows. It moves toward the fringes. The gospel drives us toward the outcasts to make them part of the family.

Our hearts should be filled with love for our fellow small group members while keeping plenty of room for new people.
