ChristCare Small Groups Ministry
Small groups are an excellent way to make new friends within the community. Each group is a place for sharing with and caring for one another while exploring and growing your faith. You will be amazed at the loving, welcoming place you will find in a small group.
Individuals interested in finding a ChristCare small group are invited to visit or join any group. Each ChristCare group is dedicated to four distinct areas to keep them “circles of care with Christ at the center.” These areas are: (1) “Community Care” to listen and understand each member where they are today; (2) “Biblical Equipping” to learn more about the Word and how it relates to your life; (3) “Prayer and Worship” to not only speak with Jesus, but praise Him as is His due; and (4) “Missional Service” to move the focus off ourselves and into the community. Small groups are open to all Christians regardless of denomination.
If you are interested in facilitating a ChristCare small group, training is generally run in the first quarter of the year. Indicate your interest to the Clergy or the ChristCare Equippers: Mary McFarlane or Deacon Bob Perrino.

The mission of this small group is to care for and to support

contemporary readings. The group together with the leader will choose the readings.
This can be a delightful and enlightening way to strengthen our Christian belief and
action in the world. If you are looking for a group of Christian friends you can talk with
and depend on as well as some lively discussion, you are invited to join us.
