Making Disciples - Transforming the World

Connect!

Servants of Christ is much more than Sunday services.  While Sunday is a great time to join together as one body unified in worship and celebration, to be fully connected join a Small Group!  Small Groups are where real Christian fellowship, caring, and spiritual growth takes place.  Finding a Small Group is one of the best things you will do for yourself.  Practically speaking, there will never be a way for the pastors or staff to personally minister to everyone who attends our church.  This is why pastors are called to equip believers to do the “work of ministry” (Ephesians 4:11-16) and why Small Group life is vital to our church.  As the church gets bigger we believe it must also get smaller. For more information about our small groups contact Pam Scheyer by calling the church office.
 
What is a Small Group?
While every Small Group is unique, together each group will: 
  • Study
  • Pray
  • Serve God
  • Hold each other accountable
  • Have fun!
Small Groups are up to about 12 folks, meeting at their group-agreed schedule and place (for example: a restaurant, a home, or even at the church) to help them grow relationally and spiritually through sharing, study of Scripture, and prayer.  Servants of Christ has a wide variety of Small Groups, such as Adult Groups, Couple Groups, Women’s Groups, Men’s Groups, Singles Groups, Care Groups, Prayer Groups and more. To connect with a small group call the church office at 713.454.6480
