Adult Small Groups – Book of Faith

Published under Announcements, Events, Newsletters

What is Book of Faith?  Small Groups meeting once a month for four months for Bible study, fellowship and renewal – we need new leaders and hosts to start new groups in January!  Please contact Pastor Kent if interested!

Small group leaders set the day, time, and place (breakfast, lunch, Friday dinner, Monday night dessert, or Sunday afternoon) and determine what kind of group (ie. Couples, singles, women, men, young adults, or open to anyone).

Anyone interested may sign up for a group that fits their interest and schedule.

We need new small group leaders and hosts!!! 

We can’t have a group without someone to guide the conversation.  That’s the role of the small group leader – to keep the conversation going.  Leaders are not teachers or experts.  And they have partners, the hosts, who arrange for a place to meet and treats to eat.  This is about learning and building relationships in a fun, faith-filled setting.   

Interested in serving as a Small Group Leader or Host? 

Questions about the Initiative?
