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.

Discussion Questions for Acts 11:19-30, Dynamic Duos:
Opening Question: What is something old you would never get rid of? What is something new you’d like to have?
1) Read the passage (Acts 11:19-30) again. Do you have any questions or comments? Are there any terms, places, or people you are unfamiliar with? If someone has a good map of Paul’s missionary journeys in the back of their Bible, look at that together to get your bearings.
2) The Christian message is built on an ancient foundation and new frontiers. What are some of the old things we cannot abandon? What are some of the old things you enjoy most? What about new things?
3) The first missionaries in Antioch shared the message of Jesus with the Jews only. Then others boldly proclaimed Jesus is Lord to the Gentiles. Do you think sharing the Gospel in our culture is more like sharing with Jews or Gentiles? What does the Gospel message to each group consist of?
4) Thinking of your small group members, what are some of the differences in gifting and talents? How have you been blessed by the way God made another member of your small group or our church?
5) The Gospel message is Word and deed, we learn about Jesus, and that transforms how we live our lives. How is the Gospel lived out in this passage? How can we express those two hands of the Gospel in our context?
6) Read Galatians 6:9-10. What priority in compassion is reflected in this passage, as well as the actions of the Church in Antioch? Does your Christian life and the life of our Church reflect this priority?
