Fellowship
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Perhaps the most perfect model of small group ministry was Jesus and his disciples as they moved about, sharing their faith and beliefs in God. With this model more and more people were offered the opportunity to worship God and became familiar with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Just as Christ met in small groups for fellowship and encouragement with other believers, Messiah is working on developing and growing our own small group ministry. Some group option ideas include:
-
Parents with elementary students
-
Parents with middle school students
-
Parents with high school students
-
Parents with college students
-
Women whose husbands don't attend worship
-
Empty Nesters
-
Craft Group
-
Musicians
-
Young Professionals
-
Single Parents
It is our goal that every family at Messiah find a small group that speaks to them and becomes a part of their own walk in faith. These might be your opportunity to connect more intimately and share our faith together. If you would like to know more about helping get this ministry going or become involved in a small group as a participant or leader, email Pastor Eddie Hosch.
