Small Group Ministry
Get connected and grow together in Christ
"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
Small groups meet once a week for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in homes across the city or online. Groups of 10 meet to study God's Word, pray and grow together in community.
The fall session runs from October to early December and then breaks for Christmas. The winter session starts up mid-January and runs through to early May. If you are interested in hosting a small group in your home, please contact Andrew & Jennifer Sarlo or contact us.

Small Group Discussion Questions for 1 John 1:1-4, For Our Joy (Jan. 11, 2026)
- 1 John is not a long letter. If your group has the time, read the entire letter out loud together. What are some of the major themes, terms, and patterns that you notice?
- Read 1 John 1:1-4 together. Are there any people, places, or terms that are unfamiliar? Do you have any questions about the text?
- In verses 1-4, what are the author’s “credentials” for what he is teaching about Jesus and the Christian life? Why does this matter for us as Christians, not just in 1 John, but in reading the Bible as a whole?
- One of the major reasons 1 John was written was to combat false teaching in the Church.
- What does this passage tell us about who Jesus is? What are the opposite claims about who Jesus is that might be behind the writing of this letter?
- John is inviting us into joyful fellowship with God. What are some of the alternative “fellowships” that the world offers to us for our “joy”?
- What is an area of your life that needs more joy? How can we pray for you to find that joy in Christ as we work through these books together?
