Small Groups
At Village Bible Church, small groups are a critical part of our ministry - they are not just "another thing"; they are our main channel for discipleship & care for each person who is a part of our family.
We realize that our spiritual needs cannot be met through simply a once a week large group worship service and Adult Bible Fellowship class every Sunday morning. That's a great start, but small groups help take us to the next level - to genuine community.
Small Groups are the best place to connect if you want to grow in your relationship with Jesus. A small group will help you develop significant relationships with others who can encourage and challenge you to consistently apply the truths of God's Word to each area of your life. They are gifts of God given so that we might "exhort one another every day, as long as it is called 'today,' that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin" (Hebrews 3:12-13).
Small Groups will help your spritual growth.
- They help us gain a deeper knowledge of God's Word.
- They help us hold each other accountable to His Word.
- They help us connect more closely to each other's lives.
- They help us meet each others needs.
Types of Groups:
- Home Groups - men and women (both married and single adults).
- Women's Groups - single and/or married women
- Men's Groups - single and/or married men
- River Group - young adult singles
Small Groups meet once a week and range in size from 8-15 people. They are normally two hours and include time for Bible discussion, accountability, and prayer, as well as informal times to build relationships with others in the group.
God wants every follower of Jesus to be continually growing as we worship Christ, walk with Christ, and work for Christ. Each Village Small Group is committed to both mutual ministry and multiplication.
- Mutual Ministry means that each member of the group is looking for ways to minister to the other members of the group.
- All groups should also be prayerfully considering a way to extend the ministry of their Small Group through Multiplication. Multiplication means eventually forming two or more groups so that others who are not yet in Small Groups can continue to find places to connect with a Small Group.
Hebrews 10:25 tells us to meet together "so you may encourage each other even more..."
