By allowing small groups to develop away from the building, these restrictions are lifted. As long as there are homes, there are facilities for expansion. It really helps us realize that imaginative and practical alternatives for teaching larger numbers are possible if we do not try to fit everything into the building. The small groups that meet away from the building offer another alternative for involvement that was not previously available. The groups meet at different times of the day, on different days, with a different make-up of people, and may even talk about different subjects.
Some groups are heavier on Bible study, others on sharing.
Other groups meet as a ministry to singles, single parents, or remarried families. While they all strive to keep a balance of sharing, Bible study, prayer and ministry, they all have different personalities. This customization is necessary to meet the varied interests and needs of our world. Small groups help meet this challenge. We have a great blessing in our facility.
