Groups at Third Church are modeled after the early church. The Apostles teach us that in community, the early church truly lived life together in ways that exhibited Kingdom culture. This ministry sets out to get people out of rows and into circles while focusing on things of the Kingdom. This is one way we make Big Church Small. With a Group of 6-12 people meeting regularly, we see members grow in their relationships with others and Jesus. Check out the listing below for groups ready to launch.
Childcare is always available by group or on an individual basis, as we never want lack of childcare to be an obstacle for participation. Talk with your GROUP leader about how this works or contact Jenny Hesseltine.
These sermon series GROUPS will focus on what is being taught in the Auditorium and Sanctuary April 8-June 24. Regardless of which service you attend, discussion in GROUP will be applicable to the Sunday teaching and rich, as both rooms will have the same general focus during this series. Want to start a group? Contact Jenny Hesseltine for more information.
