Small Group Ministry

Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.  They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts praising God.
Acts 2:46

What is a Small Group?

A Small Group is a regular gathering of 3 to 12 people or more who meet together with a view to encourage and support one another in living the daily Christian life.  Most groups meet for 6-8 weeks and then take 2 weeks off.  Many of our Chapel groups are open, so you may be able to join at any time. Contact the Chapel for more information.

What happens at a Small Group?

The objective of our groups is to:

• grow as disciples of Jesus Christ
• build godly relationships
• encourage and support one another

We do this through

• times of fellowship
• prayer
• Bible study and application
• worship

What types of Groups are available?

- Home groups
Being a regional church, we have groups throughout the county and the city of Worcester.  About one-half of our home groups include children.  Most groups meet weekly or bi-weekly and are a mixture of couples and singles.

- Support groups

• Senior Adult Ministry (SAM) is open to adults aged 55 and older.  They meet occasionally for social events and trips together.
