A small group is designed to foster heart-to-heart relationships among participants.  In these groups, more intensive Bible study takes place, and participants lovingly hold one another accountable for their spiritual growth. Some small groups require more commitment (i.e., daily preparation) than others.  In general, small groups build upon what takes place in Sunday school classes and moves the learning process to a more intimate level.  Personal sharing and interaction with biblical teachings distinguishes the small group from a Sunday school class.  The accountability component emphasizes living the life of a disciple and embodying the teachings of Jesus.  Adult small groups intentionally "close" after a brief period of time to enable intimate sharing to take place.  Small groups meet at various times.

Adult Discipleship Offerings -- Summer 2012

Summer marks a change of pace for our regular Wednesday evening activities. We have several different learning and service opportunities available:

• Summer Reading Group - Richmond's Unhealed History by Rev. Ben Campbell
• Women's Summer Bible Study - In the Name of Jesus by Henri Nouwen
• "Life is Mission" Summer Program - Several Wednesday evenings we will host various groups to share with us about missions where we are already involved or seeking to form new partnerships. Oftentimes, the following Thursday, we will have an opportunity to participate with that mission organization. Check out our calendar page to see which Wednesday nights and Thursdays we are meeting.

Please contact Matthew Hensley if you have any questions about these and other discipleship offerings this summer.
