Belonging to a Small Group can be vital for your faith in Jesus and for your spiritual growth. God does not intend for any of us to make this journey alone, and he established the church for this reason.  As churches grow in number it can be difficult for people to connect with each other and stay connected as part of a family.  With this in mind we have a vision for Small Groups that we hope to integrate into the life of True Life Church by the fall of 2009.

Taking seriously our calling to grow in godliness, Small Groups can play a vital role in gospel transformation by providing a context of loving relationships in which the Gospel is applied to everyday living.   How?  By speaking the truth in love, encouraging each other in Christ, and sharing burdens with grace and compassion.

As with every ministry at True Life Church, the gospel of Jesus Christ should drive all that we do.  Small Groups are no different.   We are excited about Small Groups for the following biblical reasons:

• We are created for community.  As people made in God's image, we are made for relationships - with God and each other.

• We are called into community.  As people saved by grace, we are redeemed individually for a corporate existence - as part of the body of Christ.

• We are cared for in community.  As people cared for and comforted by our heavenly Father, we are compelled to love others in like manner.

• We are changed in community.  As people who are on a journey of change, we are transformed by the grace of God through caring relationships found in genuine community.

• We are commissioned in community.  As people who received the redeeming love of Christ, we are called to love God and to share the good news of Jesus Christ and do good deeds so that others may praise God.
