Small Groups discipleship has been an emphasis in Neighborhood Church of Anderson/Cottonwood since its conception in 1971.  The leadership recognized from the beginning that community was crucial to believers and that community brought unity. 

Small groups are a big deal around here!

In Neighborhood Church, small groups are an important part of our men’s discipleship ministry, our women’s discipleship ministry, as well as our youth discipleship ministry.  There are many home groups that meet during the week to study God’s Word, fellowship together, and meet each other’s needs.

One-Anotherness!

Throughout the epistles, the church family members are encouraged to minister to one another in a variety of ways.  Our small groups prevent many from falling through the cracks.  People care for one another and look after one another.  Families are bonded, relationships are built, and God’s people share their joy in God with each other and those outside their groups.

Enfolding, Evangelism, Outreach, and Missions!

Small groups help new people to become enfolded into the church family.  At times, our small groups have also been the initial contact point for unchurched people who then begin to attend church.  Many small groups get involved with church outreach ministries.  All of our home groups are connected to global missionaries in supporting them with prayers, finances, letters, and even visits.
