GREAT Reasons to Join A Growth Group

You will begin to really feel like part of God’s family.
Most people who have been a part of a group say the greatest benefit is the close relationships and friendships that develop. They will frequently telephone each other during the week to share an urgent prayer request or an exciting answer. You’ll discover that your needs and problems are not unique~ we’re all in the same boat.

Prayer will become more meaningful to you.
Many people are hesitant to pray in front of others, especially in a large church. In a Growth group you will feel encouraged to participate in prayer by having a conversation together
with God.

You will be able to handle stress and pressure better.
Growth groups provide excellent support in times of crisis, change, and stress. You’ll have a sense of stability and security  knowing these are people who really care for you and are committed to standing with you.

You will deepen your understanding of worship.
Many believers mistakenly believe that worship can only happen on Sunday morning in a large group with a sermon, a choir and an offering plate! Worship happens anytime we focus on God.

You will experience community.
Growth Groups are very much like families. As the group members continue to meet and share their struggles and praises with each other, something special happens. A small family community is formed, just like the first century Christians. In Growth Groups, “No One Stands Alone.”
