Families are scattered, job pressures are intense, schedules are tight.
We need relationships, friends, social outlets, and associations with people who will encourage and build us up. Understanding the need for community, Jesus established a small group, his apostles. He spent the majority of time with his small group, modeling to them spiritual knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Through them, Jesus impacted the larger world. Our church is trying to respond to the example of Jesus, as well as the needs of our culture, by creating small group ministries.
