On Sunday, January 8th, we'll be highlighting the value of doing life together in the groups and classes that form the small group wing of the church. There will be opportunities to meet group leaders and find out more about our groups and classes. We have purposely designed different types of groups to provide many different points of entry into community:
- Life Together: These are groups with a focus of living the Christian life together in community. They usually meet in homes, and may be short or long term. Groups discuss Christian teaching, the previous week's sermon, or other discipleship materials.
- Life Issues: Groups existing to help individuals with issues in life; e.g. single parenting, sexual purity, marriage support, family finance, etc.
- Life Service: Groups focused on service; e.g. prayer for ACC missions, providing cold weather shelter, food for the hungry, ushers, etc.
- Life Study: Groups designed to deepen understanding of the Jesus-following life; e.g. study of a book of the Bible or other Christian material.
- Life Interests: Groups gathered around a specific interest; e.g. woodworking, hiking, motorcycles, fishing, etc.
Want a preview of our groups? You can always look on the ACC website for groups that are operating now and are coming together for the coming semester. Caution: there are more groups coming that are not yet on the website!
