What is a Growth Group?
A Growth Groups is a group of 12-18 people that meets weekly (or an otherwise agreed upon frequency) in homes around Greenville & surrounding areas in order to develop meaningful relationships, grow spiritually (through Bible study and service) and have fun together. This is why we say growth groups are where "discipleship and relationships collide".
How long do groups meet?
Our Growth Groups are meet on a semester basis for 10-12 weeks. Spring Semester 2012 groups will begin meeting early February and continue through the end of May. This creates clear and easy entry and exit points for the group members.
When's the next semester?
The Spring 2012 semester meetings will start in early February 2012 and continue through the end of May. Group selections will begin in January 2012 and continue through the beginning of the semester. Don't be left out!
What do groups study?
Groups choose either topical studies, books of the Bible, or "felt need" studies. The Bible studies are determined by the group members and leader. Bible studies are so varying it might be easier to select a group based on similar life stage or proximity to your home.
Some semesters each year all groups will participate in a churchwide Bible study. The study guides correlate with Sunday messages so group members can discover even more from the Sunday messages.
There are so many different types of groups to choose from! We are sure that there is one just for you!
