There is a recurring theme in the New Testament: spiritual interaction with one another is vital for our spiritual growth. We believe that Growth Groups are an ideal way (though not the only way) to develop these kinds of spiritual relationships. We will grow as we apply God’s truth through careful application of His Word, prayer, and genuine relationships. Sundays provide rich opportunities for instruction but have less opportunity for more personal interaction and application of the truth learned. Growth Groups provide this opportunity to reflect together on what has been taught and to thoughtfully work out those truths in each person’s particular context. Naturally, this is also a time to encourage and pray for one another as we live life together in the church and community.
