Adult Small Group Community

     Small Groups are an opportunity to grow in God with a commitment to Biblical study, application and mutual care. We encourage everyone to reflect on their growth as a Christ-follower and consider inquiring about the opportunities available through a small group community.

     Some highlights from the past year:

·        A sampling of past studies include the Book of Romans, “The Case for Christ”, “The Lemon Tree”, “The Practice of the Presence of God”, “Hearing God”, “Too Busy Not to Pray", "Babylon, a Study of Daniel" and "Making Marriage Work"

·        Groups met on average twice monthly in member households

·        One group packaged meals in cooperation with Willow  Creek to be sent to Africa

·        Two groups of women went on weekend retreats together

·        Several groups supported the Holy Family Lutheran School by attending the fundraiser together

     Atonement adult small groups are “mixed” in the sense they contain both single and married individuals. Groups form through a variety of catalysts; examples include a common interest in topical material, new friendships or simply through geographical convenience (such an arrangement saves gas also!)

     The goal of personal spiritual growth is to become more like Jesus, both in our relationship with God and with the people in our lives. A small group is a great place to make progress in both!
