ADULT MINISTRY
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread together with glad and sincere hearts … Acts 2:46
The early believers realized that the Christian life is not one to be lived apart from other believers. They met together daily, learning from one another, loving on one another, and enjoying the favour and blessing of the Lord. Similarly today we realize that we cannot live Lone Ranger style lives and expect to live and grow in the grace of the Lord. While we enjoy the privilege of meeting together as the larger church body Sunday mornings, it is through our weekly gatherings that the working out of our lives in the knowledge and guidance of Scripture with the encouragement of other believers best takes place. Our small group fellowship gatherings are a catalyst for this type of growth. Get connected into one today and begin growing.
