Experience community and grow deeper in a Small Group.
After you’ve connected with God through our Sunday Worship Services, the best way to grow deeper is by joining a Small Group. With groups meeting throughout the week in various locations throughout Anderson, Cottonwood, Redding, and the surrounding areas, we have a Small Group that’s right for you.
What is a small group, and why are they so important?
At Neighborhood Church we have a passion for leading people into the joy of an all-satisfying relationship with Jesus Christ and building them up to spiritual maturity. The small group is a primary vehicle for fulfilling these objectives.
A Small Group is a group of people who meet weekly for fellowship and accountability, study and prayer, good times and tears. At the heart of a small group is the desire to see a community of believers who worship Jesus together, love one another, challenge and care for each other, and together commit themselves to our mission of making disciples.
We long to see every person at Neighborhood Church experience this type of community. It is also our prayer that our neighbors would be blessed and touched by the love of Jesus as displayed and declared through our small group communities.
What should I expect when I go?
Each small group is unique because each group reflects the diversity of its members and the neighborhood in which it exists. However, you can always expect to find a weekly gathering that involves conversation, prayer, discussion on applying the Bible to practical living, and opportunities to serve each other.
Most groups choose to work through a study guide for a book of the Bible or a topical study guide that is centered on the study of the Bible.
However, small groups are much more than just Bible studies: They are communities–places where we can laugh, cry, work, and play together for glory of Jesus. This means you might also expect your small group to gather for BBQ’s or birthday parties, meet to do yard work for an elderly neighbor or to visit people in the hospital, or commit to working together in children’s ministry or at a church work day.
