Things You Shound Know!We at First Evangelical Free Church enthusiastically welcome your interest in our small group ministry. We hope you'll seriously consider involvement in a small group, an involvement we feel is essential to laying hold of the life that Christ has obtained for you!Here are a few of the values our small group ministry is built upon...1. Small groups are how we build supportive, life-changing community at First Evangelical Free Church. Small groups are more than just another program on the menu at First Free. Groups are at the heart of how we intend to stimulate spiritual growth and care for people who call this their church family.2. God has a destination in mind for you this side of heaven -- spiritual maturity!! The Lord never intended that you mark time until you go to heaven. The eternal life He offers is a quality of life you can experience right now! However, it requires an intentional pursuit. Do you have a plan for growth?3. The development of supportive transparent, and accountable relationships are vital. Dozens of "one another" passages in the scriptures highlight the necessity of these kinds of relationships. Sorry. . . lone rangers don't flourish in the Christian life!4. We believe that a small group is the best environment for spiritual development. Groups are not places where we simply accumulate information about God. Groups help us move from just information to convictions that shape our choices and eventually to becoming the kind of person from whom the character and deeds of Jesus naturally flow. People learn the art of walking with God in a small group.
