Adult Ministries
An important principle of group dynamics is: size affects function. To promote growth in the lives of disciples, our church offers groups for adults that are appropriate to three key relationship levels:
The Celebration Group (70 people or more) provides the optimum size to meet the church's need for unity. This is accomplished through worship, corporate prayer, and the preaching/hearing of the Word. Our Celebration Groups convene during the two Sunday morning worship services.
The Mini-Congregation (17-70 people) is the optimum size to meet the church's need for fellowship. The functions of this group include teaching, sharing, outreach, and integration into the community. "Adult Bible Fellowships" are organized on this model.
The Small Group (7-17 people) is the optimum size for establishing intimacy. Adaptable to a variety of commitment levels, small group ministry provides the setting for in-depth relationships, instruction, accountability, pastoral care, and the opportunity for personal development.
In addition to the groups defined by size, our church offers ministry programs designed specifically for the men and women of our congregation.
