The Christian life is not meant to be lived in isolation. God said that it is “not good” for man to be alone (Gen 2:18). Though sin makes things messy, we sharpen each other (Prov 27:17) by demonstrating the love and forgiveness God has given us. Our desire is to cultivate relationships and opportunities that make evident our corporate growth, repentance, edification, sanctification, and transformation.
What is a Midweek Group?
Throughout the year we offer Family Life Groups (FLGs) or Small Groups to allow more time for biblical fellowship. The goal of these groups is to help us become more like Christ as we learn from each other and apply the truths of Scripture. These groups generally meet weekly for a season, usually 8-12 weeks. Our desire is to see relationships develop that demonstrate the gospel within our community.
Where do Groups meet? How big are they?
FLGs meet in nearby homes (Pico Rivera, Whittier) or in the church building. They usually have between 8 and 20 people including adults, teens, and children.
Small Groups normally meet at church and are split between men and women. They have about 5 to 8 people together.
When do Groups meet?
Groups start in different seasons (fall, winter, spring) and meet weekly for 2 or 3 months. You can find upcoming dates in the weekly announcements or event calendar. Signups are usually in person with each leader.
What happens during a Group Meeting?
Each FLG is unique in its people and atmosphere. Some groups have a number of children while others have only adults. Some may choose to share a meal, and some may be bilingual. The basic structure includes prayer, reviewing a Bible passage, and discussing its application to your family, your church, and your life. Childcare is handled differently by each group.
Small Groups usually start with a large gathering and teaching time before splitting into smaller groups for discussion.
